Brazil ended its participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with a total of 20 medals, three gold, seven silver and ten bronze. This achievement brought not only sporting recognition, but also significant financial rewards to the athletes, as their achievements were rewarded with large sums.
Athlete Awards: How Do They Work?
Prize values are determined according to a fixed schedule. For example, gold medals warrant a higher amount compared to silver and bronze medals. Moreover, in team sports, the value is divided among the participants. This criterion is essential to ensure fairness and balance in rewards.
Who are the biggest winners of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games?
Among the most notable figures, without a doubt, were Rebeca Andrade and Beatriz Souza. Rebeca, with her multiple medals in gymnastics, and Beatriz, with her achievements in judo, represented the Brazilian team with brilliance and determination. These athletes not only received medals, but also a large sum of money, estimated at:
- Rebecca Andrade: 826 thousand Brazilian reals
- Beatrice Souza: 392 thousand Brazilian reals
- Anna Patricia Duda: 350 thousand Brazilian reals for each of them
How is the prize divided between the teams?
In team sports, the value of the medals is distributed among the participating athletes. For example, the women’s artistic gymnastics team, made up of Flavia Saraiva, Jade Barbosa, Julia Soares and Laurent Oliveira, received R$56,000 each for winning bronze. This section is essential to appreciate the effort and collaboration needed to achieve the team’s achievements.
- Women’s Artistic Gymnastics: 56 thousand Brazilian reals for each athlete
- Judo Team: 42 thousand Brazilian reals for each athlete
- Women’s volleyball: 32 thousand Brazilian reals for each athlete
- Women’s football: 29 thousand Brazilian reals per player
What effect do awards have on athletes?
These awards not only reward athletes for their achievements, but also encourage future generations to dedicate themselves to sports. The temporary measure taken by the Brazilian government, which exempts athletes from any taxes on these awards, is also a positive point, as it ensures that athletes use the full amount received.
Brazil’s performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, despite moments of disappointment, has produced many memorable achievements and performances. The awards reflect the fair and essential recognition of those who dedicate their lives to sport, and promote the continuity and development of sport in Brazil.
