“…she swam the anchor leg of Australia’s world record breaking 4×200 freestyle relay, earning $2,500 for winning the event and an additional $6,520 as her share of the $25,000 world record bonus…”

This whole money table (day1+ day2) needs to be recalculated, because you’re dividing the relay prize money by 4 members. However, Australia in this case used 8 different swimmers (prelims+finals) which means each member gets $1250 for winning the event and $3125 for the WR.

The USA used 6 different swimmers ($1166,66 each), the Netherlands used the same 4 in prelims and finals. ($1500 each).

Would they allocate the WR bonus to prelim swimmers?

Probably not. Goated is confusing the fact that medals are awarded in relays to heat swimmers with the fact that WRs are only set by those who actually swim the WR.

fwiw theres an argument that if the finals swimmers that set the WR would’ve had to swim prelims too they might’ve not gotten the WR
