More medals for Team USA
Unfortunately, the law includes Olympic medals.
Team GB’s bosses say they are “ahead of the curve” to achieve their target of a best-ever medal haul from an “away” Olympic Games after an unforgettable first week in Rio. Felix won gold in the 200 at the London Games and took silver in Beijing and at the 2004 Athens Games.
Phelps won his 22nd Olympic Gold in the 200m individual medley-his fourth consecutive gold in the event. That means his taxable income is about $140,000.

In fact, the most shocking thing of these Olympics may have been the fact that he had to settle for one silver medal. Four years ago, 85 countries won medals before the closing ceremonies.

We qualified more male boxers to an Olympic tournament than ever before but you can’t control the draw.
But US lawmakers are aiming to change all that.
‘Michael Phelps can show them to his grandchildren, ‘ Beth Lula, the brand director of the organizing committee, told the New York Times.
Raisman took more than a year off before deciding to come back, and that return had its rocky moments.
Also, Senator Chuck Schumer of NY called on his colleagues to fast-track the proposal to exempt Olympians from paying Rio Olympics taxes.
Who is the better Olympian of the two?
Well, nearly everyone. Karolyi has long trusted Raisman, one of the country’s most consistent performers and hardest workers.
But luckily, a bill in the House right now would make medals and prize money tax exempt.
Meanwhile, People said that athletes with lucrative endorsements like Michael Phelps wouldn’t lose sleep over the Rio Olympics taxes. “But we’d also ask them to support other athletes during the day and that quiet time”.
