Women's 60 metres hurdles indoor prize money

Q: How much does the women's 60 metres hurdles 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.

Q: Who won the women's 60 metres hurdles at the 2026 World Indoor Championships?

Devynne Charlton, in 7.65, for $40,000. Eight athletes contested the final in Toruń, from seven countries. It was a world record, which pays nothing on this card: the winner's $40,000 is the whole of it.

Q: Does the women's 60 metres hurdles 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.

Q: Has anybody won the women's 60 metres hurdles at both indoor championships?

Devynne Charlton 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.

Devynne Charlton won the women's 60 metres hurdles at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships in 7.65 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.

Eight athletes contested the final in Toruń, from seven countries. 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.

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 women's 60 metres hurdles.

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 women's 60 metres hurdles pay at the World Indoor Championships?

Who won the women's 60 metres hurdles at the 2026 World Indoor Championships?

Devynne Charlton, in 7.65, for $40,000. Eight athletes contested the final in Toruń, from seven countries. It was a world record, which pays nothing on this card: the winner's $40,000 is the whole of it.

The rest of the championships

Indoor Championships prize money holds all 53 finals, the 233 athletes who were paid and the $4,664,000 that was put up. World Championships prize money is the outdoor version, where a title pays $70,000 and the ladder runs eight deep, and Diamond League prize money is the series most of this field races all summer.
