JAKARTA The amount of bonuses that will be received by each athlete who brought home a gold medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics is still a puzzle.
Indonesia has so far collected two gold medals. One from rock climbing was obtained by Veddriq Leonardo and the other was won by Rizki Juniansyah from weightlifting.
Expert Staff for Youth Innovation and Sports at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Yohan estimates that the amount of bonuses that will be received by gold winners can refer to the figures received by athletes in some of the latest competitions.
"The target is one gold medal, maybe IDR 5 billion to IDR 6 billion, right now. Maybe it can be added again," said Yohan in Jakarta, on Friday, August 9 yesterday.
However, this number was later denied by the Special Staff of the Menpora for Achievement Improvement and Development of the Ardima Rama Putra Sports Industry.
He said that the amount of bonuses for Olympic medalists that had been circulating in the community was still limited to assumptions referring to the amount of the Tokyo Olympics bonus.
"Of course, the amount is still waiting for the direction of the President, because the policy is with the President. We from the Ministry of Youth and Sports only prepare everything that is administrative in nature to accelerate the process of disbursing the bonus," he said.

In addition to the two gold medals, Indonesia also won bronze medals through the women's singles badminton player Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.
In addition, bonuses are also likely to be awarded to all athletes who have competed in Paris as well as their coaching staff and teams.
"Once again, the Ministry of Youth and Sports would like to thank the support of the entire community so that they can achieve good achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Rama.
Two gold medals from Paris repeated Indonesia's success at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Two gold medals in one Olympics are still the most successful achievements for Indonesia.
