John Mayer Bio. In the 2000s, when he wasn't shagging starlets or performing stand-up comedy, John Mayer was leveraging his two distinct gifts: His virtuosic guitar skills and his aptitude for classy pop-rock songs.
The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) is the National Olympic Committee for the United States. U.S. athletes have won a total of 2,521 medals (1,022 of them being gold) at the Summer Olympic Games and another 282 at the Winter Olympic Games. Most medals have been won in athletics (track and field) (801, 32%) and swimming (553, 22%). Thomas Burke was the first athlete to represent the United States at the Olympics.
US athletes who win a medal at the Rio games will take home the hardware and a cash bonus from the US Olympic Committee. Gold medallists will receive $25,000, silver medallists get $15,000, and bronze winners earn $10,000. Those winnings are taxed as income, the same way Americans are taxed on other prize money, like lottery winnings.
