All the perks Olympians get for winning gold, silver or bronze: Diamonds, apartments and half a million pounds

The 2024 Olympics is well underway - and there have already been plenty of medals for the UK. But what do they get as well as a medal?

To celebrate 100 years of competing in the Olympics, this time it’s giving their gold medallists a two-bedroom apartment in Warsaw. This is on top of a £63,000 cash prize, a painting by a “talented and respected” Polish artist, an investment-grade diamond and a holiday voucher for two from a travel agency.
