Australian Paralympic athletes were not paid in prize money or bonuses if they won a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
Until a few hours ago....
Unlike their Australian Olympic counterparts, Australian Paralympians were originally not offered prize money as bonuses for winning medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. That was until Scott Morrison made an announcement in Australian Parliament today stating that all Australian Paralympic medallists would receive the same prize money amount as the Olympic athletes. That's a win.
Of course when we filmed this podcast episode, this was before the Australian Federal Government announcement...
However there's still a lot of good discussion points in this episode from Damo & Rob.
