Imagine running one race and walking away richer than almost any athlete in the history of your sport. That is exactly what happened this month at a brand new championship built entirely around one simple idea: pay the winners like real stars.

The event brought together the best track and field athletes in the world for just a few days of racing, but the prize fund was unlike anything the sport had seen before, worth about ten million dollars in total. A single event winner could take home an amount many athletes previously earned across several seasons combined.

Supporters say paying athletes this well finally treats track and field like the major sport it is. Critics wonder if it will actually change anything long term. Either way, for a few days in September, sprinters and throwers were suddenly some of the highest paid athletes in the world.

Essa é a história.
