mustyfan: Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin has promised Olympic medal winners cash bonuses: 4 million roubles (about $130,000) for gold medal winners, 2.5 millilon roubles to silver medalists ($82,500) and 1.7 million roubles ($56,000) for bronze medalists.  If Aliya Mustafina were to do as well as she did at the 2010 Worlds (two gold, three silver) she would earn $507,500. Wow. Wow!  Just out of curiosity, how much money do olympic medallists get in the US?
