The International Olympic Committee, the Games' organizing body, doesn't pay any athletes who participate in a particular Olympiad, or give out prize money for medals. It's akin to how leagues like the NFL and the NBA don't pay players; instead, individual teams in the league are responsible for providing compensation.
It's up to each country to decide on remuneration (the IOC do not award prize money). Some countries reward the athletes for medals, e.g. USA, pay medal winners $37,500 for a gold, $22,500 for a silver, and $15,000 for a bronze.
