Team Canada won 21 medals at the 2026 Olympics, and a six-figure total will be paid to Canadian athletes.Some athletes got on the podium multiple times, which means they'll make quite a bit of money!The total payout is more than you might expect, not just because athletes won multiple medals but also because Canada won a lot of team events.Canada officially won five gold, seven silver and nine bronze medals at the Milano Cortina Olympics. With the Canadian Olympic Committee's Athlete Excellence Fund, athletes get $20,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze.Athletes get that award money for each medal won at the Olympic Games.The performance awards are the same whether an athlete won a team event or an individual event. That means athletes don't have to split the money for team sports.Of the 21 medals won by Canadian athletes at the 2026 Olympics, eight were from team events.Some of Canada's athletes won multiple medals, including Courtney Sarault, Steven Dubois, Florence Brunelle, Kim Boutin, Valérie Maltais, Ivanie Blondin, Mikaël Kingsbury and Megan Oldham.See on InstagramThe total amount of money that will be paid to athletes through the Athlete Excellence Fund is $1,260,000!More than half of that is for the silver medals in men's and women's hockey because both teams have over 20 players on the Olympic roster.
