I do not think that they should pay it back, because they are representing the country. Because of their efforts the country is getting great recognition. When that person wins they say the person name then turn around and say the United States has won x amount of metals. You have to realize that these people are away from every one and everything that they love and is not making any money, so don't take the little from them that the United States is giving them for representing this country. (and that's not only for the money for the medals, but also the hotels, flight, food etc...). It's all in one package. I do not agree with this.
