Australian swimmer Shayna Jack has added her voice to growing calls for Olympic prize money, believing athletes are missing out on what they financially deserve.
International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry lit a fuse just days after the controversial Enhanced Games were staged last month, declaring she didn't believe in awarding cash bonuses for medals.
The pro-doping Enhanced Games had offered a total prize pool of US$25 million, dangling carrots of $US250,000 for event winners and a $US1 million bonus for breaking official world records.
While winners of Olympic and Commonwealth Games medals aren't financially compensated by the IOC, some member nations have incentive programs.
Through the Australian Olympic Committee's medal incentive fund, athletes can earn $20,000 for winning gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze.
