Brendon Rodney prize money
Brendon Rodney has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2363rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 200 m, the best of them 6th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2017 | 200 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2017 | 200 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's 200 m | - | $3,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is two 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.
The World Championships
What Brendon Rodney did in Tokyo, 2025
Brendon Rodney went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Canada team that finished 2nd in the men's 4 × 100 metres relay, $40,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Brendon Rodney ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 38.11 | $10,000 |
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 7th | 40.06 | $3,000 |
The World Relays have paid $13,000 for the two teams Brendon Rodney ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Canada rather than to the four who ran. The $3,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Andre De Grasse, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Brendon Rodney won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | Gold | - |
The men's 4 × 100 metres relay gold was worth $50,000 and was paid to the federation as a single cheque, with nothing published about how it was split between the runners. It is not his and is not added to the $3,000 at the top of this page. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Brendon Rodney won?
$3,000, which ranks 2363rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2017.
What is Brendon Rodney's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 200 m at the 2017 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 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Brendon Rodney 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 200 m 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.
What did Brendon Rodney's World Relays teams win?
$13,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Brendon Rodney or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Brendon Rodney earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Brendon Rodney is Brandon Roulhac on $3,000, and one below Caisja Chandler on $3,000. Brendon Rodney is one of 70 Canada athletes athletics has paid, and Canada athletics prize money adds them up to $2,287,458 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Brendon Rodney has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Golden Gala Pietro Mennea has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the men's 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the men's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
