The International Olympic Committee is called IOC. The IOC gives money directly to athletes. Every participant gets 10.000 Dollars. This is a help for the career. It is not a prize for a win. All athletes at the Games get the money. You do not need a medal.
The IOC uses a big pot of money. The pot has 140 million Dollars. This is enough for 14.000 athletes. Athletes from the Winter Games 2026 get it first. The IOC pays the money through sports groups.
Athletes get the money with rules. They must not use Doping. Doping is the use of forbidden substances. Who breaks rules gets no money. The IOC wants to support athletes more. Before, there was no money for participation. The IOC also decides on new locations. The Games for the year 2036 start in 2029.
