In addition, he’ll award $30,000 for silver and $20,000 for bronze medals. Carrión, a former swimmer and Latin Grammy-nominated artist, has also urged fellow artists to help raise funds for Puerto Rican athletes. Puerto Rico will send 51 athletes to Paris, up from 37 in Tokyo 2020, aiming to add to their total of 10 Olympic medals, including two golds won by Jasmine Camacho-Quinn and Mónica Puig.
