Abrham Sime prize money
Abrham Sime has been paid $36,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 795th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from nine paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, two of them wins.
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 nine paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $36,000 is nine separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Ten of the 19 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $11,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Abrham Sime in 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $36,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Abrham Sime won?
$36,000, which ranks 795th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from nine paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Abrham Sime's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2025 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Abrham Sime 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Abrham Sime won?
Two of 19, worth $20,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $1,000.
Has Abrham Sime ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Ten 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Abrham Sime earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
