Christoph Harting prize money
Christoph Harting has been paid $38,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 775th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the men's discus throw, the best of them 2nd.
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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $38,000 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the fourteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $13,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Christoph Harting in 2016, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $38,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Christoph Harting won?
$38,000, which ranks 775th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2015 and 2019.
What is Christoph Harting's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the discus throw at the 2018 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Christoph Harting 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 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.
Has Christoph Harting 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 Christoph Harting 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.
