World Record Bonuses
Any athlete who surpasses the world record during the 2008 IAAF World Indoor
Championships will receive $50,000 subject to the following conditions:
- A World Record Award will only be made for performances which meet all
conditions necessary for ratification of an IAAF World Indoor Record in
accordance with IAAF Rules and only after the Record has been officially
ratified by the IAAF.
- To qualify for a World Record Award, the performance must be an
improvement on the existing IAAF World Indoor Record. Performances which
equal the existing IAAF World Indoor Record will not be eligible for a
World Record Award.
- World Record Awards will not be awarded for World Junior Records.
- An athlete may only claim a World Record Award once in any one
discipline at a particular event. The effect of this rule is that if an
athlete breaks an IAAF World Indoor Record more than once in a
discipline, that athlete will only be eligible for one World Record
Award.
- If more than one athlete breaks the IAAF World Indoor Record in a
particular discipline, the athlete who has achieved the best performance
will receive the World Record Award.
- IAAF World Indoor Records achieved in qualifying/preliminary rounds will
be eligible for a World Record Award (see also #4 above).
- Relay teams achieving an IAAF World Indoor Record will receive one World
Record Award to be divided among the members of the team.
- The athlete receiving a World Record Award will be solely responsible
for the payment of any taxes, duties and/or levies of any nature and
will agree to hold the IAAF and its partner(s) harmless in this regard.
- Athletes eligible to receive a World Record Award shall make themselves
available to the sponsors of this scheme and the IAAF for promotional
activities at the end of their competition program and until the end of
the Competition in question. In order to guarantee that Point 9 above is
respected, the athlete receiving a World Record Award will be requested
to sign a form after he/she has broken the IAAF World Record. Signing of
this form is a condition precedent to receiving the World Record Award.
