Summer olympic ifs

Summer Olympics International Federations: The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF) has expressed its concerns and worries about World Athletics' decision to award prize money to Olympic gold medalists at the Olympic Games.

"ASOIF fully agrees that athletes are at the centre of the Olympic Movement, and play a critical role in the success of any Olympic Games. However, it appears that World Athletics' latest initiative opens rather than solves a number of complex issues," it said in a statement released on Friday.

Earlier this month, World Athletics announced it would introduce prize money for Olympic gold medalists in each of the 48 track-and-field events at Paris 2024 and all medallists at Los Angeles 2028.
