NEW DELHI: Indian athletes competing at the Olympics can earn big cash awards by winning Olympic medals this time. The cash awards announced by various state governments along with the Union government's cash award policy will make Indian medal winners the most rewarded athletes in the world.

The financial gains Indian medal-winners will garner is far more than what major nations like the United States, hosts Japan, Canada, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands, Brazil and South Africa have announced for their medal-winning athletes.

Besides India, the top-5 nations giving cash bonuses for medals are: Indonesia ($746,000, Rs 5.55cr), Singapore ($735,000, Rs 5.47cr), Hong Kong ($644,000, Rs 4.80cr), Thailand ($309,300, Rs 2.30cr), Kazakhstan ($250,000, Rs 1.86cr). All amounts are for gold medals. The figures for silver and bronze medal winners follow a similar trend.

In India, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Chandigarh (administration) have already announced a cash bonus of Rs 6 crore for athletes from their state who win gold medal at the Olympics.
