Abraham Kibiwot prize money
Abraham Kibiwot has been paid $92,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 154th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 2nd.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $92,500 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Six of the 30 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships
What Abraham Kibiwot did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 3000 metres steeplechase | — | DNF | — |
Abraham Kibiwot stood in one 2025 World Championships final in Tokyo and finished outside the money. The championships pay eight places, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th, and nothing at all below that. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Abraham Kibiwot won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 3000 metres steeplechase | Bronze | — |
The bronze in the men's 3000 metres steeplechase paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $20,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Abraham Kibiwot in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $92,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Abraham Kibiwot won?
$92,500, which ranks 154th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Abraham Kibiwot's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Abraham Kibiwot gets paid?
Entirely by where he finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the men's 3000 m steeplechase as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Has Abraham Kibiwot ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Six times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Abraham Kibiwot earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
