This medal list is basically composed of athletes from four sports: table tennis, gymnastics, swimming and judo. Among them, table tennis player Ito Mikei ranked first, and her prize money for this Olympic Games was 20 million yen; The second place is still a table tennis player, and Shuigu Junyi got 6.5438+0.4 million yen; Gymnast Daihui Hashimoto ranked third with 6.5438+0.33 million yen; The fourth place is swimmer Gao Qiao Yuyi, with a prize of 6.5438+million yen; The rest of the top ten are judo players with a prize of 7 million yen.
In this Olympic Games, the Japanese Olympic Committee actually has a standard for athletes' bonuses. If you win the gold medal, there will be a reward of 5 million yen (about 300,000 RMB); Silver medal is 2 million yen (about 6.5438+0.2 million RMB); The bronze medal is 6.5438 million yen (about 60,000 RMB). In addition, in the case of team competition, the bonus standard will change slightly. As for how to change, it depends on the decision of the Olympic Committee.
Actually, Miki It? (1 gold 1 silver 1 copper) and Junichi Shuigu (1 gold 1 copper) are not outstanding among Japanese athletes, because Daihui Hashimoto won 2 gold 1 copper in this Olympic Games. So, why are Miki It? and Mizutani's prize money higher than those who won two gold medals? The reason is that in addition to the Japanese Olympic Committee, the Japanese Table Tennis Association also rewarded it.
The bonus system of Japan Table Tennis Association is: gold medal 5 million yen, silver medal 4 million yen (about 240,000 RMB) and bronze medal 3 million yen (about 6.5438+0.8 million RMB).
Meicheng Ito got 1 gold 1 silver 1 copper. She can get 8 million yen from the Olympic Committee and120,000 yen from the Table Tennis Association, so the total is 20 million yen (120,000 RMB). Similarly, the Olympic Committee gave Shuigu Junyi 6 million yen and the Table Tennis Association gave him 8 million yen, so the total was 6.5438+0.4 million yen (840,000 RMB).
Judging from the bonus policy, the Japanese team did take care of table tennis players in this Olympic Games, which also reflected the importance attached by the Japanese sports community to table tennis. I still remember that when Shuigu Junyi/Ito Meicheng defeated Xu Xin/Liu, the Japanese domestic media was already bombarded. Some Japanese media even claimed that Shuigu Junyi won the bronze medal of 1 gold 1 silver 1 at the Olympic Games and achieved a "grand slam", so he was the first person in history.
However, after the Olympic Games, 32-year-old Shuigujun also announced his retirement on the grounds of eye disease. Japanese men's table tennis, the future depends on Zhang Benzhi and carrying the banner, and women's table tennis is of course Ito Mie!
