There are 48 athletic events in the 2024 Paris Games, which will conclude with over 300 medal giveaways. World Athletics presented three key insights on X, about their umbrella decision regarding the events: World Athletics introduced $2.4 million from the International Olympic Committee’s earnings. Athletes who place first in each of the 48 athletics competitions in the Paris Games will get a $50,000 reward, divided among the team members in relay events. Additionally, World Athletics promised to increase the prize money for Olympic silver and bronze medal winners at the Games of LA 2028.

Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics, shared the news, further highlighting, “We started with the Olympic dividend payments to our Member Federations, which saw us distribute an extra US$5m a year on top of existing grants aimed at athletics growth projects.” Prize money distribution, however, is contingent upon the World Athletics ratification process, which entails athletes going through and passing the anti-doping protocols.
