Women's hammer throw prize money

Camryn Rogers won the women's hammer throw at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in 80.51 m and took $70,000. Second was worth $35,000 and third $22,000, and the money ran eight deep, so the final paid $172,000 in all.

Twelve athletes started the final, from nine countries, out of a field of 36 the event entered. One of them did not finish with a place. The championships put up $8,498,000 in Tokyo and spread it eight places deep in every event, which is deeper than any other meeting in athletics pays.

The winner takes 41% of what the event pays out and the other seven places share the rest. That shape is the same in every individual event on the programme, so the chart is the championship's ladder rather than anything particular to the women's hammer throw.
