Yes, every member of the team that wins a medal receives a medal, so both pairs skaters, each of the 2- or 4- member bobsled teams and even all the players on the hockey teams get their own medals.

American Golds in Pairs are very hard to come across. The medals won by Americans in the Pairs are:\nBronze: Jill Watson and Peter Oppegard (Calgary 1988)\nSilver: Kitty and Peter Carruthers (Sarajevo 1984)\nBronze: Nancy and Roland Ludington (Squaw Valley 1960)\nSilver: Karol Estelle and Michael Kennedy (Oslo 1952)\nSilver: Beatrix Loughran and Sherwin Badger (Lake Placid 1932)\nSo in simple terms, no, the USA has never won a gold in the Pairs competition

Nope, she won the silver. Oksana Baiul (sp?) just edged her out for the gold.

Other than the trophy, every member of the squad and coaching staff get medals.\n\nFIFA also award money to the teams who participate in the World Cup. The further you get the more money you receive, with obviously the winner getting the most.

In a shootout.\nWinner of a fencing competition.\nWinner of a singing competition.\n\nNoone really gets it all unless everyone else is dead. If thats not the case, then everyone who lost still had fun during the event.

Ok first off, the way that you are looking at this is completely wrong.  You need to realize that it just so happens that the US happens to be a very populated and rich country.  You can't compare countries with states-France and Canada have many provinces-I don't know about Belgium or other countries, but I'm sure that they are not just single countries.  \n2ndly, Americans believe that they win the most medals because there is a medal count...and the US has typically been at the top.  Some countries dominate in certain sports, but the US might be the most well rounded.

Just the athletes...\nBut the coaches are recognized...\nIf one of their athletes receives a medal, depending on which one they receive points and distinctions.\nUsually most countries then select the highest scorers for special events, appearances, and recognitions.\nI know it does not sound like much but to a coach it is pretty important...

I don't know about the actual medal's worth, but the USOC pays athletes $25,000 for winning an inidividual gold.  There are prizes for silver, bronze and team medals, too.

under the new scoring method in figure skating, it is still actually possible to gain points when you fall during a difficult jump because you gain points based on difficulty levels, then lose a set number of points by falling (the TV commentators explained how one of the competitors gained a half point by falling down because they got 3.5 points for attempting a difficult jump and then lost three when she fell.)\nAlso, the medals are based on combined scores over many parts of competition (basic figures, short program, long program) and an error in one area can be partially made up for by superior performances in the other areas.

No, they get medals.  If they are lucky, they get an endorsement from a company and can make money doing commercials, ads, etc.

The Olympic Games offer no prize money for winning any medals.\n\nThat being said, several countries have traditionally offered cash prizes to members of their teams that medal, not to mention the cash benefits of sponsorship offers many athletes who win gold will receive.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

I was watching Fox News this morning and the American snowboarder who got a gold in the halfpipe was talking about the music he was listening to.\n\nHe said most of the olympians were listening to hip/hop and rap. He said that he was listening to Led Zepplin and AC/DC.\n\nGood quality classic rock, apparently the best way to get psyched up for an olympic event-prior to winning a gold medal.

Why the last? If others are interested in skiing and football then others will enter both. I know other football players that were skiers but none I know of with Olympic creds
