Default Team Russia can kiss their million bucks goodbye

They'll need to win 2 Golds in the next two weights (which they are not favored in) and it might be possible (5 FS Gold). Otherwise the men have to win either 6 or 7 Golds and there's no way the officials will let that happen.

They will just have to win big every match. Statistically it is still possible.

If Russia wins ten gold medals in all three styles the Gold medalists have been promised a Million dollar bonus from their government.

If they don't get ten the winners will be forced to settle for a paltry 500k

Adam Wheeler clocked a cool 5k bonus for his bronze.

Unless John Bardis takes care of him, but I think he only bonuses Lester and a few of his boys. I hope Wheeler can cash in on it somehow.

US Medal payouts are 25k for gold, 17k for silver, and 5k for bronze.
