One Kiwi athlete bound for the upcoming Paris Olympics is pleased to hear about the latest offer from World Athletics.

The governing body plans to give gold medallists a cash prize of $84,000.

Olympic shot-putter Tom Walsh says this is a good step forward from World Athletics.

"It's good to see that World Athletics have come to the party and are paying some prize money for how you perform. It shows you where the time is in the world."
