Andrius Gudžius prize money
Andrius Gudžius has been paid $162,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 156th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 29 paid finishes in the men's discus throw, 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 29 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $162,000 is 29 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 30 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $59,500 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Andrius Gudžius in 2016 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $162,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Andrius Gudžius won?
$162,000, which ranks 156th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 29 paid finishes between 2014 and 2024.
What is Andrius Gudžius's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the discus throw at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Andrius Gudžius 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 discus throw 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 Andrius Gudžius won?
Two of 30, worth $60,000 between them. Six of his appearances came at a final, which paid $91,000.
Has Andrius Gudžius 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.
How much did Andrius Gudžius win at the 2025 World Championships?
$7,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Andrius Gudžius earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
