Five medals, four gold and one bronze, this is a remarkable achievement for Léon Marchand in the Basin of the Arena de la Défense in Paris. This is unheard of for French athletes, and such an outstanding performance deserves corresponding rewards from the government.
Léon Marchand wins €320,000 at 2024 Olympics
That’s because the Ministry of Sport, Olympic and Paralympic Committee released an information note last week confirming that multi-medal athletes at the Paris Games will accrue bonuses linked to their results.
It is understood that a gold medal is worth 80,000 euros, a silver medal is worth 40,000 euros, and a bronze medal is worth 20,000 euros. Leon Marchand will soon receive a bonus of 340,000 euros. He should receive them by mid-November, as the government announced.
Teddy Riner wins double in judo
Following the same accumulation principle, for athletes who win individual medals and collective gold medals (even those who do not directly participate in team competitions), the captain’s bonus will be doubled at the end of the 2024 Olympic Games. (Teddy Riner) won two possible titles and received €160,000 in prize money at this Olympics.
For some, these payments are supplemented by income earned at clubs (such as Rina, who is licensed in judo at Paris Saint-Germain) and sponsorship income from those who have them. For others who don’t yet have sponsors to promote, that may change now that they have established a reputation and a strong track record in front of the country and the world.
