We’re not even at the halfway point of the 2016 FINA World Cup tour, but five-time defending series champ Katinka Hosszu has already crossed $100,000 in prize money earnings.
Hosszu nabbed $13,500 in Beijing to push her over the six-figure mark and up to $105,000 total for the tour. The closest challenger to her is men’s leader Vladimir Morozov at $96,500.
Jeanette Ottesen is closing in on $60K and sits second for women after a $5000 run in Beijing. China’s Xu Jiayu earned $4750 for the men (including his share of relay earnings) for the second-highest meet total in that gender. Xu was not at the tour’s first cluster.
PRIZE MONEY SYSTEM
Event Prizes
Prize money is given to the top 3 in each individual event:
- Gold: $1500
- Silver: $1000
- Bronze: $500
NEW IN 2016: Prize money is also given to the top 3 mixed relay teams (though no series points are earned).
- Gold: $3000
- Silver: $2000
- Bronze: $1000
In our money lists, we’ve given each relay member one quarter of that money, which amounts to $750 for a win, $500 for second and $250 for third.
World Record Bonuses
Each world record is worth a $10,000 bonus.
