The awards are 150,000 yuan more than those given to Chinese champions in Athens and a massive increase on the 6,000 yuan paid after the 1984 Los Angeles Games, at which China won 15 golds medals.

 

China won 51 golds, more than any other nation, at the Olympic Games. In some team events, such as the synchronized diving, each athlete on the team received a medal and every medalist will be rewarded.

This amount, however, is a fraction of the cost of winning each medal.
The average government investment in each gold medal was around 15.7 million yuan a year.  

 

The calculation is based on the 51 gold medals won in 2008 being the fruit of an annual government sports investment of 800 million yuan, he said.

The sports sector will continue tio be allocated 800 million yuan annually from sports-oriented lotteries.

Bonuses for Olympian medal-winners are not uncommon.  Greece plans to offer around 190,000 euros ($280,000) for Beijing Games gold medals, 130,000 euros for silver and 70,000 euros for bronze medals.

Kenya offers cash, a TV and a washing machine, according to media reports.

TV ad spend from political candidates is expected to exceed $3 billion, according to TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group, CNN's consultant on political television advertising.

This is nearly twice as much than what was spent in 2004 when political and issue-advocacy television advertising rang in at $1.7 billion.  In 2006, $2.3 billion was spent on political and issue-advocacy TV commercials.

As annoying as they are, it's interesting to look back at some of the old ads and how things have changed today.

We found a site with all the presidential political TV ads from 1952 to today - check it out here.

10,708 athletes from around the world competed at the Olympic Games in Beijing last month.

 

They were covered by over 12,000 television broadcast staff.
