USA Swimming promises $100,000 for Olympic relay sweep

If the Americans win every relay at both the 2024 Paris Olympics and the world championships this summer, USA Swimming will financially compensate its athletes. The men’s and women’s 4×100-meter medley relays, 4×100 freestyle relays, 4×200 free relays, and mixed 4×100 medley relay are all part of the schedule that the sport’s national governing body revealed on Tuesday. All members of the U.S. pool and open water world teams will divide $500,000 if the Americans win all seven of these relays at the world championship in Fukuoka, Japan, this summer. The Americans will split $150,000 if they place first, second, or third overall in all of the relays.
