I just saw on NBC some of the payouts from various countries, ah man in india get 23,000 for bronze, in the U.S they said getting a gold medal in the olympics you receive $25,000 - silver $15,000, bronze $10,000 this is per medal. they said Michael phelps were making 5 mil last year but with this accomplishment he would be making anywhere from $30-34 mil a year, is these figures mostly endorsements? anyone saw this on NBC?

Man I think I ready for de next Olympic in London.

Phelps 5 mil is from endoresments. they projecting he will get a lot more to bring him to 30-40 mil a yr.

the other money might just be a one time bonus paid to the athlete per medal.
