For this year’s Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, over 100 medal ceremonies will take place across 15 sports.

Many countries, including the U.S., do supply winners with cash prizes for victories, but the amount can vary. The U.S. Olympic Committee has previously given winners about $25,000 for winning a gold, $15,000 for a silver and $10,000 for a bronze medal; Azerbaijan offered $510,000 to each gold medalist during the 2012 London Olympics.
