IT?WILL?BE cash for gold, silver and bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
And Barbadian athletes who win medals at the Games stand to benefit from incentives in excess of BDS$200 000.
Erskine Simmons, secretary general of the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA), said a gold medal winner would get $100 000; $75 000 for the silver and a bronze medal $50 000.
“It has always been in place,” Simmons told the SUN on SATURDAY, “going back since Sydney 2000.”
