BERLIN - The decision by World Athletics to offer prize money to gold medallists at next month's Paris Olympics is discriminatory and goes against Olympic values, European Olympic Committees president Spyros Capralos said on Friday. World Athletics and the International Boxing Association have announced payments for their own medallists, with WA offering $50,000 in prize money to its 48 Olympic champions in Paris.
A total of 10,500 athletes are expected to compete across 32 sports in Paris."I think that every country through their National Olympic Committees and governments have set bonuses for athletes winning medals," Capralos told a press conference in Romania."I think just giving some money to the gold winner is discriminatory and does not follow the principles of solidarity.
