Norwegians and Swedes: True Olympians!

The “Money Side of Life” website just published a hit parade of bonuses paid to Olympians in Sochi by the countries' respective National Olympic Committees or sport ministries to athletes who medaled.

The Russians have been showering their medalist with tons of money, not to mention a free Mercedes SUV each, probably thanks to Putin's obsession to making a big splash by coming out number 1 on the final tally.

Compared to that, the USA and France seem stingy, while Norway and Sweden are the only one that are espousing the true Olympic spirit by doing it just for the sport.

Scandinavians always seem to manage to keep their fingers out of the stinky money-cookie-jar!
