Jerome Blake prize money
Jerome Blake has been paid $9,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 875th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 100 m and men's 200 m, the best of them 3rd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | 200 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Birmingham Diamond League 2022 | 100 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | 200 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | 200 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2021 | 100 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2021 | 200 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | — | $9,000 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,000 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Jerome Blake did in Tokyo, 2025
Jerome Blake went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Canada team that finished 2nd in the men's 4 × 100 metres relay, $40,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Jerome Blake ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 3rd | 38.11 | $10,000 |
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | 7th | 40.06 | $3,000 |
The World Relays have paid $13,000 for the two teams Jerome Blake ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Canada rather than to the four who ran. The $9,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Aaron Brown and Andre De Grasse, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Jerome Blake won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 100 metres relay | Gold | — |
The men's 4 × 100 metres relay gold was worth $50,000 and was paid to the federation as a single cheque, with nothing published about how it was split between the runners. It is not his and is not added to the $9,000 at the top of this page. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.
Discipline by discipline
What each event has paid Jerome Blake
| DISCIPLINE | STARTS | WINS | YEARS | PAID |

| Men's 200 m | 4 | — | 2021 to 2024 | $4,500 |
The men's 100 m has paid Jerome Blake $4,500 of the $9,000, which is 50% of everything the series has given him.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $5,750 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Jerome Blake in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jerome Blake won?
$9,000, which ranks 875th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2021 and 2024.
What is Jerome Blake's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 100 m at the 2022 Birmingham Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jerome Blake 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 100 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.
What did Jerome Blake's World Relays teams win?
$13,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Jerome Blake or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Jerome Blake earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Relays 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 2,112 athletes across the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Jerome Blake is Adam Kszczot on $9,000, and one below Jonathan Jones on $9,000. Jerome Blake is one of 34 Canada athletes athletics has paid, and Canada athletics prize money adds them up to $1,449,500 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's 100 m prize money and men's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Jerome Blake has been paid in two of them. The biggest of the rest are men's pole vault, men's 800 m and men's 400 m hurdles. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Meeting de Paris 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 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the men's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
