Should Olympic champions be rewarded? How many months' salary is the bonus in other countries?

China athletes won the gold medal and silver medal at the Athens Olympic Games, and achieved unprecedented success. After the members of the delegation returned to China one after another, the reward of athletes who won gold medals or other medals became the focus of people's greatest concern.

The General Administration of Sport awarded 200,000 gold medals.

Like previous Olympic Games, the State Sports General Administration has formulated the basic reward measures and amounts for athletes who won Olympic medals in Athens Olympic Games, specifically: 200,000 yuan for the champion, 0.2 million yuan for the runner-up/kloc-0, and 80,000 yuan for the third runner-up. This standard has been approved by the superior before the Olympic Games, and the bonus of the General Administration is not subject to personal income tax.

The local government awarded a heavy prize.

Different provinces and cities have set different prize amounts for athletes who have won medals according to their different financial resources. At present, the highest prize known is the 6.5438+0.5 million yuan prize prepared by Yunnan Provincial Sports Bureau for Zhang. Fujian, Sichuan and Shanghai also set up a bonus of 500,000 yuan for champion athletes, while Liaoning and Hubei Sports Bureau only awarded 6.5438+0.5 million yuan and 80,000 yuan for gold medal athletes respectively.

Of course, there are also some management centers under the General Administration that set up huge awards separately to stimulate athletes' performance and win breakthroughs. For example, since the last session, the Tianguan Center has established a system in which gold medal winners get millions of prizes. The winners this time are Liu Xiang and Xing Huina. The water sports management center, which has not won a gold medal in the Olympic Games before, has also set up a grand prize of 6,543,800 yuan, while Meng and Yang Wenjun have achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medal, and they will each receive a prize of 6,543,800 yuan.

Mr. Fok Ying-tung's bonus jar

On September 7th, the gold medalists of the China sports delegation will meet with Hong Kong citizens and entrepreneurs who have been concerned about sports in China. At that time, the certificates of Mr. Fok Ying-tung and Mr. Ceng Xianzi will also be awarded to the athletes. Mr. Fok Ying-tung's reward is, of course, a gold jar worth $80,000 for each gold medalist, and Mr. Ceng Xianzi will certainly be very generous.

The value of the champion image is enormous.

Some athletes have been promised by local governments or entrepreneurs the day after winning the championship that they will receive housing and other forms of rewards. For example, some private entrepreneurs in Shandong want to send Li Du, the first gold medal athlete, a villa. Now she has accepted an invitation from a company in Zibo to become the image spokesperson of her sporting goods. Wang Yifu and Zhang Ning, two Liaoning veterans, will each get a Zhonghua brand car, while others will get real estate, such as Guo Jingjing, Yang Jinghui and Tang.

As for talents like Liu Xiang, Luo Xuejuan, Feng Kun and Zhang Yining, they will be favored by merchants, and they will earn immeasurable income and have unlimited potential in product advertising and image spokesperson. There are still many athletes who can get different forms of rewards from all angles, which will be long-term and unpredictable.

Honor and reward are paramount.

In addition to material rewards, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions decided on August 30th to award "May 1" labor certificates and medals to sports teams and athletes who achieved outstanding results in the 28th Olympic Games. Among them, China women's volleyball team won the national "May 1" labor award; More than 30 other gold medal winners won the National May 1st Labor Medal.

Other countries also give awards, and the proportion is similar.
