Neither the International nor the U.S. Olympic Committees pay the athletes for competing. Only gold, silver, and bronze medal winners get paid by the USOC (US Olympic Committee). Gold gets $25,000; Silver, $15,000; and Bronze, $10,000. But the real money that athletes make comes from lucrative marketing deals.
