Per the LRC podcast convo, should Jared Ward give the money to Talam of Kenya for beating him right at the finish line? $1700 goes a long way in Kenya. But Jared does have a lot of mouths to feed.

No. Jared EARNED it by finishing ahead of Festus. If Festus really wanted that extra $1700 then he would have run through the finish line.

Jared has extra money to buy more.
Jared did a great kamikaze finish and earned it, screw the other guy. What is this? A new trend in political correctness? Screw it if it is and screw anyone who believes that kind of crap, get real.

Bravo.
...not to mention the OP introduces a non-event related variable.
"Since the second place finisher has more debt, he should receive the first-place prize, because he was nipped at the finish."
or...
"Since the second-place finisher is from a poorer country...etc..."
...it's second place for a reason: he/she did not finish in first place.
For all silver and gold medal labeled races, beginning in 2020, all prize monies and appearance fees will be determined by the athlete’s country of origin’s cost of living index. This will not only be a fair system but also promote improvement amongst runners from developed countries.
