When the dust settled and the prize money was shared out, Great Britain’s Olympic Mixed Relay gold winners had another reason to smile after their amazing summer – actually they had 469,000 reasons to smile.

On the women’s side Taylor-Brown led the way with a total of $140,000 while Jess was close behind on $136,000. Yee claimed $120,000 while Brownlee (third in the final standings) took home $73,000.
