Emmanuel Korir prize money
Emmanuel Korir has been paid $111,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 120th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1000 m, three 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 fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $111,500 is fifteen 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. Three of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Emmanuel Korir won?
$111,500, which ranks 120th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2018 and 2024.
What is Emmanuel Korir's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Emmanuel Korir 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 Emmanuel Korir won?
Three of 18, worth $70,000 between them. Three of his appearances came at a final, which paid $66,000.
Has Emmanuel Korir 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Emmanuel Korir earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
