The Greek athletes normally won a garland made from either wild-olive or laurel, money (drachmas) and in the panathenaic festival competitions they would win an amphorae of olive oil.
The main prize they all wanted and earned was mainly fame and honour.

King Philip won the chariot race. He had to fake up a Greek ancestry from Sparta to be allowed to compete.
Same as it feels like now just in Ancient Times. You were supported by fans and people were giant fans of the winners. They were role-models and everyone wanted to grow up just like them.

The better athletes.
The Ancient Greek poet Pindar is known for writing poems that praised athletes who won glory at the Olympian games. His odes, known as Pindaric odes, celebrated the victories of famous athletes and were performed at public events.
In Ancient Greece, only Greek athletes participated. It would usually be against other athletes not countries. The highest honor was the olive branch crown.

In the earliest Olympics, the Greek athletes competed for prizes such as tax breaks, huge monetary prizes, and crowns of olive branches. Most of the rewards received in the past are the ancient equivalent of today's medals and bouquet of flowers.
The Olympics were started as a ceremony honoring Zeus, the Greek god. One theory is that a cook had won a race of three and a half miles, starting the Olympics. :)
