The 2024 Summer Olympics is still ongoing up until August 11 in Paris, and so far over 200 medals have already been awarded to athletes from all around the world.
It's a really big deal when an athlete manages to finish on the podium. First off, it is all about national pride. For some winners, however, it also means they would be able to take home a handsome cash bonus as well as it would pote[...] Read more » How much do Athletes get at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics for Winning Medals?

Each country will give its medalists an amount of money that helps them the most. In the case of my country, there was an Olympic medalist, where he won the bronze medal, and the president of Peru gave him a prize of 40 thousand dollars. .

It is very nice to see that this state is committed to the sport, and shows its greatest consideration by giving you a good amount of money, not everyone is that lucky, but that gesture will make more players go out and compete at the highest level.

It is very nice that they reward their athletes, that way they will have higher levels to compete to win gold, silver or bronze. The Olympic Games have ended but you could see that this was very good for everyone.

Here in my country only one athlete obtained a medal, and it was also a bronze medal. It is expected that more athletes will go forward and compete. The state should also support Peruvian talent and thus be more prepared to compete in various disciplines.

Maybe it's irrelevant on this thread . But Anyway ... I LL write it here
Euro or mundial lasts 4 weeks . The Olympics 2 weeks . Really strange
I just wonder why the Olympics last so little time , only two weeks . The organisers always seem to be on a rush to complete it asap and I don't get it .
It's the biggest athletic event , every four year , almost all sports and athletics , so fun to watch them . But on two weeks it's hard to follow all action , either as a spectator live or as a viewer from tv .

maybe not the organizers are in a hurry, but the authorities who want to introduce a new p(l)endemic called monkey pox. Something stinks, because many people are talking about this and it is not good, if we stay locked in the house again.

By rewarding all your athletes that will make more people interested in these sports and practice them, in this way the level will increase year after year, we all want to win and of course be recognized worldwide for what we have achieved.

I don't know, I think the Olympics always seemed to last about 2 weeks, at least as far as I can remember...

this can be searched for anywhere and if you don't find the answer, you should ask on official websites in social networks. I think you will receive the answer quickly, because there is a reason or maybe more.

I don't know how long they lasted when they began , especially in the pre ww2 era . But 2 weeks is not long enough . I guess it's a celebration of all sports , not just football or basketball or whatever . And also as a viewer I cannot watch all games In two weeks .maybe i search YT, see if sb has uploaded some events that i didn't watch loke tae kvo ndo .
Maybe the sponsors push the organisers , who knows.
I also read the BRM article about the expenses of the Olympics in 2024 . Two times more than the profits . So 4 weeks could mean even more billions to waste. Although they have far too many volunteers , still expenses are high . Maybe that the most important reason . And that means that sponsors don't want to invest in the Olympics as mush as they do in the mundial i guess . Just speculations...

Time flies by very fast . 4 years might seem a lot , but it's not . So the next Olympics will come and then we will watch again this athletics and sports show . I think it will be hosted in USA , LA maybe ? Not sure . Also after us it's Australia or not ? I LL search it to see for sure . By the way , why Australia gets again the Olympics i diny get it ,si many other countries could this or ne helped by sponsors and to do it . It seems like yesterday to me the 2000 Olympics .

Lol. Everyone writes sth on a thread that is a little old . No need to bother so much ))) and it's not that old , the Olympics ended 2 weeks ago , not 2 years ago ))
Btw I see my previous post . It has some spelling mistakes . My mobile auto spelling correct programm really sucks . On one occasion , in another forum , it corrected my writing and wrote the wrong word , and the meaning of the phrase became quite ...pervert . Lol
