The 50k race walk isn't even an official IAAF event for women but now USATF will have to pony out $7000 for first.
How about just dropping all prize money for the event - male and female?
It is weird that there is a 50k race wakl for men but not women, but the thing I've never got about Title IX is if everything is supposed to be the same, why don't women run 10k in xc at ncaas and do the decathlon, hot heptathlon?
