Myers out to lead Aussies to Ultimate athletics high

Man-of-the-moment Cameron Myers and fellow 1500m star Jess Hull will lead the Australian track assault at the inaugural Ultimate Championship in Budapest, while high jump duo Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Olyslagers are ready to light up the infield.

Held over three nights, World Athletics' new money-spinner will feature the richest prize pot in the sport, with a dozen Australians among those seeking a share of the $US10 million ($A14 million) up for grabs.

Each individual event winner will pocket $US150,000 ($A209,000), with the runner-up earning $US75,000 ($A105,000) and the eighth-placed athlete picking up $US10,000 ($A14,000).
