Basketball players will be given special treatment, enjoying great popularity in Belarus. For each medal, the team members are to receive a lifetime supply of sausage. Gold medalists will receive from other sponsors 100 thousand. dollars, silver – 50 thousand, and for bronze – 30 thousand. dollars.
