Blikk found out who gets the most money after the Olympic Games. From their list, we can see that Renáta Katona, Liza Pusztai, and Katinka Battai Sugár got the smallest sums of money, 2.8 million forints, which is 9,375 dollars, for fencing. The world-famous Katinka Hosszú got 20 million forints, which is 66,966 dollars. Áron Szilágyi (fencing) and Dóra Bodonyi (kayak) got 78.5 million forints, which equals 262,844 dollars.

Tamara Csipes (kayak) was rewarded with the largest sum of money, 107,2 million forints. That is over 358,272 dollars.

“In comparison, the last established net Hungarian average salary was HUF 293 thousand. In light of this, the Hungarian Olympic gold medal corresponds to more than 14 years of work, which an athlete puts into their career,” writes Blikk.
