How big are the awards for Olympic winners of Lithuania?

Lithuanians Olympic medallists will most likely get awarded with brand new cars by sponsors and will get considerable premiums from the state.

Lithuanian gold medal winners in Rio de Janeiro should be rewarded by the state with €115,850, the second place will guarantee them €57,920, and bronze medallists will get €43,440.

Fourth place winners will also be rewarded with €23,170, fifth place with €17,380, sixth place with €11,580, seventh place with €8,690 and eighth place with €5,790. Coaches will receive sums amounting to half of what their athletes get.

Lithuania‘s premiums for Olympic winners are average if compared to other countries. Latvia, for example, will award each Olympic champion with €139,000, Belarus has set aside €134,000.
