Men's triple jump indoor prize money
Andy Díaz won the men's triple jump at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships with 17.47 and took $40,000. Second was worth $20,000 and third $10,000, and the money ran six deep, so the final paid $88,000 in all.
17 athletes contested the final in Toruń, from thirteen countries. One of them did not finish with a place. Every event indoors carries the same $88,000, relays included, and the championships put up $2,376,000 across 27 of them in Toruń. The two finals below are the Nanjing 2025 and Toruń 2026 championships, and the ladder under them has not moved between the two.

What each place is worth
The ladder, and who has taken each rung of it
| PLACE | PAYS | TORUŃ 2026 | NANJING 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $40,000 | Andy Díaz | Andy Díaz |
| 2nd | $20,000 | Jordan Scott | Zhu Yaming |
| 3rd | $10,000 | Yasser Triki | Hugues Fabrice Zango |
| 4th | $8,000 | Lázaro Martínez | Jordan Scott |
| 5th | $6,000 | Jonathan Seremes | Su Wen |
| 6th | $4,000 | Almir dos Santos | Max Heß |
| The event | $88,000 | $88,000 paid | $88,000 paid |
The winner takes 45% of what the event pays out and the other five places share the rest. That shape is the same in every event on the indoor programme, relays included, so the chart is the championship's ladder rather than anything particular to the men's triple jump.

Three days in March against careers of Diamond League meetings. The series runs fifteen times a summer and pays six places at a fraction of these rates, which is why an indoor title is one of the larger single cheques in this field's year. The Tokyo column is the outdoor World Championships, where the same ladder runs eight places deep and a title pays $70,000.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the men's triple jump pay at the World Indoor Championships?
The event carries $88,000, split six ways: $40,000 to the winner, $20,000 for second and $10,000 for third, down to $4,000 for 6th. In Toruń that came to $88,000.
Who won the men's triple jump at the 2026 World Indoor Championships?
Andy Díaz, with 17.47, for $40,000. 17 athletes contested the final in Toruń, from thirteen countries. One of them did not finish with a place.
Does the men's triple jump pay the same as every other indoor event?
Yes. Every event on the programme carries the same $88,000, and so does every relay, which makes the indoor championships the one meeting in athletics where a team of four and a single athlete are paid the same figure. Across 53 finals that comes to $4,664,000.
How many places does the men's triple jump pay indoors?
Six. The ladder runs $40,000, $20,000, $10,000, $8,000, $6,000, $4,000, and 7th pays nothing. Eleven of the 17 athletes in the 2026 final went home with nothing from the prize fund.
Is there a bonus for a world record in the men's triple jump?
No. The indoor card is the ladder and nothing else, so a world record is worth the place it won and not a dollar more. Outdoors a world record adds $100,000 on top of the place money.
Has anybody won the men's triple jump at both indoor championships?
Andy Díaz won it in 2025 and 2026, which is $80,000 from two afternoons' work and puts them at the top of the indoor money list.
Did anyone in this final win indoor money elsewhere?
Andy Díaz has taken $80,000 from two paid finishes, Jordan Scott has taken $28,000 from two paid finishes.
