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.
Cluster Bonuses
The 9-meet series is broken into 3 clusters. Each cluster awards bonuses for the top 8 athletes in points over those three meets. An athlete must swim all meets in the cluster to earn a cluster bonus:
- 1st: $50,000
- 2nd: $35,000
- 3rd: $30,000
- 4th: $20,000
- 5th: $10,000
- 6th: $5,000
- 7th: $4,000
- 8th: $3,000
Series Bonuses
And the series as a whole will give out bonuses to the top 3 men and women in total series points:
- 1st: $150,000
- 2nd: $100,000
- 3rd: $50,000
Your money tables shows that Sasha Touretski earned $900, but Alexandra Touretski earned $1300.
Sasha is diminutive name for Alexandra in Russian. So if those swimmers are indeed two different persons it will be very weird. If it is not then how much has Sasha(Alexandra) actually earned?
So, if Sarah Sjostrom shows same performance in Budapest she will be out of reach in bonus points competition and is actually guaranteed the Grand Prize. She doesn’t need to swim hard in Asian cluster to be the winner.
Hosszu to stay above Efimova needs another Doha where her level of performance will be good enough to earn bonus points.
If Wang Jianjiahe participates in Asian Cluster she has a good chances to be the second in total points count under conditions that competition at Asian stops will be at the same level as at European ones. But I think it won’t happen and Hosszu will secure her second place by winning in some ridiculous races.
