The committee headed by Yasser Idris said in a statement on Sunday that gold medalists will now receive EGP 5 million, up from an undisclosed previous amount.

Silver and bronze medalists will get EGP 4 million and EGP 3 million, respectively.

In addition, each medalist will receive a 1,000 euro bonus and a luxury watch.

The move came after Egypt secured three medals, one gold, one silver, and one bronze, at the Paris Olympics.
