Ahmed Abdelwahed prize money
Ahmed Abdelwahed has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1955th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 4th.
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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 6th | $1,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 9th | - |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $2,000 |
| Herculis EBS 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 6th | $1,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $500 |
| All six | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $5,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ahmed Abdelwahed won?
$5,500, which ranks 1955th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2021 and 2022.
What is Ahmed Abdelwahed's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 4th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2021 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Ahmed Abdelwahed 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 Ahmed Abdelwahed ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Ahmed Abdelwahed 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.
