"All payments have been made—they are already in the athletes' bank accounts," said Radosław Piesiewicz, head of the Polish Olympic Committee (PKOl).
Cash rewards totaling PLN 1.65 million (EUR 390,000, USD 450,000) went to medalists Kacper Tomasiak, Paweł Wąsek and Vladimir Semirunniy, as well as their coaches, state news agency PAP reported.
Additional prizes included digital tokens valued at PLN 1.1 million and rewards such as diamonds, holiday vouchers, jewelry and artwork.
Tomasiak, a multiple ski jumping medalist, also received a special prize in the form of an apartment funded by a private developer.
Athletes who placed between fourth and eighth were awarded tokens worth a combined PLN 280,000.
The ceremony featured video highlights from the Games in Italy, including footage of Poland's medal-winning performances.
Ahead of the Olympics, Piesiewicz had said he expected three medals. "Some people laughed at that," he said during the event. "We ended up with four. We fell short of a gold."
Poland won four medals at the Games—three silver and one bronze—finishing 21st in the medal standings.
The result was described as one of the country’s best performances in Winter Olympic history, following the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Games.
Tomasiak, a 19-year-old ski jumper, emerged as Poland’s standout performer, becoming the country’s youngest Winter Olympic medalist. He won silver in the men's individual normal hill event, bronze in the large hill competition, and another silver in the men’s super team event.
Semirunnij, a Russian-born speed skater who won silver in the men’s 10,000 meters, said during the ceremony that Poland is his home.
He thanked the sports ministry, the Polish Olympic Committee and the national speed skating federation for their support.
Semirunnij also received a professional bicycle during the ceremony, which he said he would use in training.
