Daniel Ståhl prize money
Daniel Ståhl has been paid $355,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 32nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 54 paid finishes in the men's discus throw, thirteen 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 54 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $355,750 is 54 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.3% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 55 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $86,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Daniel Ståhl in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $355,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Daniel Ståhl won?
$355,750, which ranks 32nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 54 paid finishes between 2014 and 2026.
What is Daniel Ståhl's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the discus throw at the 2019 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 Daniel Ståhl 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 Daniel Ståhl won?
Thirteen of 55, worth $200,000 between them. Nine of his appearances came at a final, which paid $111,500.
Has Daniel Ståhl 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 Daniel Ståhl win at the 2025 World Championships?
$70,000, 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 Daniel Ståhl 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.
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 Daniel Ståhl is Valerie Adams on $361,500, and one below Jakob Ingebrigtsen on $348,000.

For the event itself, see men's discus throw prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Daniel Ståhl 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 Bauhausgalan 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 discus throw page.
