Some winners also received additional prizes, such as Spyridon Louis, who received a cup from Michel Bréal, a friend of Coubertin, who had conceived the marathon event.
Nogle af vinderne fik også yderligere præmier, f.eks. modtog Spyridon Louis en pokal fra Michel Bréal, en af de Coubertins venner, der havde fået idéen til maratonløbet.
