Andrius Gudžius prize money
Andrius Gudžius has been paid $70,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 215th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the men's discus throw, one of them a win.
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 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $70,000 is 21 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 22 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 Andrius Gudžius won?
$70,000, which ranks 215th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2017 and 2024.
What is Andrius Gudžius's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the discus throw at the 2018 Bislett Games. 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 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?
One of 22, worth $10,000 between them. Four of his appearances came at a final, which paid $21,000.
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. He 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 104 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.
