Egide Ntakarutimana prize money
Egide Ntakarutimana has been paid $18,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1208th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the men's 5000 m and men's 3000 m, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2026 | 5000 m | 2nd | $12,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2026 | 5000 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2026 | 3000 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Athletissima 2026 | 5000 m | 10th | - |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | 5000 m | 11th | - |
| Athletissima 2023 | 5000 m | 12th | - |
| All six | two disciplines | - | $18,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $18,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Egide Ntakarutimana stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where he finished.

season running total
2026 is the biggest of them, $18,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Egide Ntakarutimana in 2023, 2024 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $18,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Egide Ntakarutimana won?
$18,000, which ranks 1208th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Egide Ntakarutimana's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the 5000 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 Egide Ntakarutimana 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 5000 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.
Has Egide Ntakarutimana ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Egide Ntakarutimana 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.
