There is also a world record bonus of US$100,000 and we've seen at least one WR broken at each of the last five World Championships. In Budapest in 2023, Team USA broke the mixed 4 x 400m relay world record (3:08.80). Although that time would be lowered by over a second (3:07.41) by a totally different American quartet at the Paris Olympics a year later.
