– The State Secretariat responsible for sports has proposed to the government to increase the amount of the Olympic bonus by ten percent compared to the Tokyo bonus, and I can gladly announce that the government supports the proposal, so our athletes can expect a ten percent increase for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris – Announced by Adam Schmidt , quoted by MTI from the MOB General Assembly.
The gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics came with a government reward of fifty million forints, so this amount would already be 55 million forints in Paris.
