The decision by World Athletics to offer prize money to gold medallists at next month's Paris Olympics is discriminatory and goes against Olympic values, European Olympic Committees president Spyros Capralos said on Friday.

REUTERS/Sarah MeyssonnierBERLIN, June 7 - The decision by World Athl etics to offer prize money to gold medallists at next month's Paris Oly mpics is discriminatory and goes against Oly mpic values, Europ ean Oly mpic Committees president Spyros Capralos said on Friday.
The IBA has said it would offer money to all medallists, at the July 26-Aug. 11 Games, with $100,000 to gold medal winners, $50,000 for silver medals and $25,000 for bronze. "I think just giving some money to the gold winner is discriminatory and does not follow the principles of solidarity."
