Canadians Arop, Leduc and McCreath fail to advance at Ultimate Championship
Canada’s top athletes missed the finals as the championship instead offers a share of a US$10 million prize pool, officials said.
- Canada's Marco Arop finished sixth in the 800-metre semifinal at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest, Hungary on Saturday, completing the race in one minute 44.21 seconds.
- Unlike the Olympics or world championships, the Ultimate Championship awards no medals, instead shifting focus entirely to financial rewards for elite athletes competing in the event.
- Athletes are competing for a share of a US$10-million prize pool, with each event winner earning $150,000 for their performance at the championship.
- Three Canadian athletes have been eliminated from competition. Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., finished 14th in the 100-metre semifinal, while Sade McCreath of Ajax, Ont., placed 17th.
- The three-day championship continues in Budapest on Sunday, as remaining competitors vie for prize money in the final stages of the event.
