Djokovic to donate gold

Novak Djokovic has pledged to donate his €200,000 prize money, awarded by the Serbian government for winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, to various charitable organizations in Serbia. After defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final, Djokovic emphasized his desire to support those in need rather than keeping the financial reward for himself. This generous act follows a tradition of the Serbian government rewarding Olympic athletes, with gold medalists receiving €200,000, silver medalists €100,000, and bronze medalists €60,000. Djokovic's victory marks a significant milestone as he becomes one of only five players to achieve a Golden Slam, adding to his impressive record of 24 Grand Slam titles. Additionally, he will receive a national pension from age 40, further solidifying his legacy in Serbian sports. The gesture has been met with widespread admiration in Serbia, reflecting Djokovic's ongoing commitment to philanthropy.
