They have not yet posted the prices for the 2008 Olympics, but there is a comparison chart so you can get an idea of how much you should put back. I myself am waiting for the 2012 Olympics in London...I lived there for 6 years and that is the perfect excuse to go back to visit!!!

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.

I think the Olympics should feature amateur athletes only...\n\nSome people will say.."Well China pays there athletes..or Russia does.."...but saying that takes away from what the Olympics are supposed to be about...Individuals with the drive to excel..Individuals who are not given every advantage..It is the spirit to win..\n\nThat is what made 1980 so special...Just college players who won through determination over professional players..\n\nWe will never see such inspiration again with NHL players on the ice...

This is only true for those players playing in the US, those playing outside ie in the European Leagues are in similar pay scales. All are conditional to what the team they are playing for and what they think they are worth. The US based players get paid what they are worth based on the market. When the sport becomes as popular as basketball and baseball and the teams start making the same kind of money the salaries of US based players should increase.

Mate I honestly don't know the average salary of a US player is perhaps 90,000 US$ or less but in europe club level pros are paid 180,000 US$ wages per week.

There are three things to compute - gross salary, adjustment for specific countries, and then the sign-on bonus.\n\nAn example is a voucher examiner job here\nhttp://cc.msnscache.com/cache.aspx?q=3407208514813&lang=en-US\nthat pays about $40,000 in US Embassy in London

It depends on the level of government, the type of team and how long you have been working there.  For federal government the OPM website is a great source of salary information.

In the period between 2001 ~ 2004,  Olympic Organization  marketing generated about $4.3 bllion (USD) in revenues through:\n\n- TV broadcast rights\n- Merchandising & Licensing\n- Ticketing\n- Sponsorships\n\nThis however does not address indirect revenues, such as hotel, air travel, tourism, etc.\n\nFIFA announced in April 2004 that it is expecting to earn $144 million profit on $1.64 billion in revenue between 2003 and 2006 (the 4 year cycle including the 2006 World Cup).\n\nSo, purely as a stand alone entity, the Olympic Organization generates more revenue, but I'd bet when all economic benefits are factored in, their cash generation may be close. The one major benefit the Olympic Games has is their TV contracts. That generates HUGE dollars...
