Prize Money for World Championships in Budapest: Winners, Rankings, and Bonus Breakdown

The International Association of Athletics Federations (WA) has published the prize money of the World Championships in Budapest on its official website. WA pays the same amount as at last year’s World Cup in Eugene, but then increased the amount and communicated that the penalty imposed on the Russian Federation for doping ensured the fund. The winners of the individual events receive 70,000 dollars, the silver medalists 35,000 dollars, and the bronze medalists 22,000 dollars. From the fourth to the eighth place, respectively, 16, 11, seven, six and then five thousand dollars are awarded. The winners of the relays will receive 80,000 dollars per team, the second-placed 40,000 dollars, and the third-placed 20,000 dollars. After them, the rankings are worth 16,000, 12,000, 8,000, 6,000 and 4,000.

Anyone who achieves a world record gets a $100,000 bonus, but they do not pay for setting the world record. Sweden’s Armand Duplantis, who won the pole vault at last year’s World Cup with a record of 621 cm, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone of the United States, who was first in the women’s 400-meter hurdles with 50.68 seconds, and Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan, who ran 12.12 seconds in the women’s 100-meter hurdles in the semifinals, could go to the to the till. Amusan then won in the final with 12.06, but in a tailwind of 2.5 meters/sec, which was larger than necessary for certification. The Nigerian athlete was recently found to have failed a doping test three times within a year, which is considered a doping emergency. Amusan appealed. WA said it needed to clarify, and if you do this, you can start in Budapest. Looking for a new challenge, McLaughlin-Levrone starts on the 400 meter flat with us, the tight schedule does not allow doubling. The prize money at the World Cup will be 8.498 million dollars, which is HUF 2.97 billion.

By way of comparison: at last year’s Budapest Water World Championships, the international association distributed 5.72 million dollars (about HUF 2.2 billion) between the medalists and the runners-up. The gold medalists received 20,000 dollars, the second 15,000, the third 10,000, the world record was worth 50,000 dollars. Kristóf Milák – who won the 100 and 200 meter butterfly (twice $20,000), the latter also with a world record ($50,000), and achieved two fifth places in two relays (twice $1,250) – a total of $92,500, 35.15 earned a million forints in the Duna Arena.
