Djamel Sedjati prize money
Djamel Sedjati has been paid $130,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 95th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1000 m, five 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.

The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $130,500 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Djamel Sedjati won?
$130,500, which ranks 95th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Djamel Sedjati's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 2nd in the Diamond+ 800 m at the 2026 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 Djamel Sedjati 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 800 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Djamel Sedjati won?
Five of 18, worth $50,000 between them. Four of his appearances came at a final, which paid $43,000.
How much did Djamel Sedjati win at the 2025 World Championships?
$35,000, 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.
How much did Djamel Sedjati win at the Ultimate Championship?
$150,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
Is this everything Djamel Sedjati earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships and Ultimate Championship 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.
