World Athletics and the International Boxing Association will offer prize money to their own Olympic medallists.Mr Capralos said he would be attending the European athletics championships in Rome, hinting at possible discussions on the matter.
World Athletics and the International Boxing Association have announced payments for their own medallists, with WA offering $US50,000 in prize money to its 48 Olympic champions in Paris. "We believe in the Olympic Games the athletes go there to compete for the values of the Olympic Games and their last preoccupation is to get money and bonuses," said Mr Capralos, who is also an IOC member."I think that every country through their National Olympic Committees and governments have set bonuses for athletes winning medals," Mr Capralos told a press conference in Romania.
"Regarding boxing, there is no international boxing federation. With them there have not been any discussions," Mr Capralos said.
