Ukraine is bigger than Israel despite both giving 1.5 M.
What about Kazakhstan who gives housing as winnings?
What about China? Do they not give any money? or Australia? or Japan?
Did you just throw some random countries in there?
The US of all places really need to step up the payments for all but the Mens basketball teams.
Some of those athletes pay their way to events and only get the paid travel and fare when they make Worlds and Olympic events.
Not here to judge any country but the US because I know how much we spent just to watch the damn thing on Peacock/NBC here.
Technically the Ukraine and Israel money came from the US, so US should be 1st with 12.4M
The title is wrong. This isn’t each athlete, it’s total prize money for all athletes (at least that what the graph shows)
China is not even on the chart and they had a pretty good haul of medals.
US athletes receive zero prize money from their country. Your source is bad.
Pretty cool to have huge sporting events like this where the stars aren’t paid. Something something sanctity of the sport blah blah
These posts have been popular lately but don’t always tell the full story. Australia, for example, gives a relatively low amount per medal per athlete but does provide a substantial amount of ongoing funding to athletes outside of paying for medals. I’d imagine other successful Olympic nations who don’t show up on these charts (USA, GB) would be similar.

What do you mean by athlete group?
