Alastair Chalmers prize money
Alastair Chalmers has been paid $11,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1496th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Athletics Meet 2026 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $3,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $3,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $3,000 |
| London Athletics Meet 2024 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| All five | Men's 400 m hurdles | - | $11,500 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $11,500 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alastair Chalmers won?
$11,500, which ranks 1496th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2024 and 2026.
What is Alastair Chalmers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alastair Chalmers 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 400 m hurdles 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.
Is this everything Alastair Chalmers 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.
