Julien Watrin prize money
Julien Watrin has been paid $7,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1777th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2023 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $2,500 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 4th | $2,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| All five | Men's 400 m hurdles | - | $7,250 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,250 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Indoor Championships
What Julien Watrin did indoors
Julien Watrin went to the World Indoor Championships on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Belgium team that won the mixed 4 × 400 metres relay in Toruń 2026, $40,000 to the team rather than to any one of the four. He ran on the Belgium team that finished 2nd in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay in Toruń 2026, $20,000 to the team rather than to any one of the four. A winning quartet indoors takes $40,000, exactly what a winning individual takes, which is true of no other championship in the sport. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Julien Watrin ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed 4 × 400 metres relay | 6th | 3:16.45 | $4,000 |
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | 7th | 3:00.69 | $3,000 |
The World Relays have paid $7,000 for the two teams Julien Watrin ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Belgium rather than to the four who ran. The $7,250 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 Robin Vanderbemden, Dylan Borlée and Alexander Doom, 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Julien Watrin won?
$7,250, which ranks 1777th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2022 and 2023.
What is Julien Watrin's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 400 m hurdles 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 Julien Watrin 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 400 m hurdles 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 Julien Watrin's World Relays teams win?
$7,000, 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 Julien Watrin 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 Julien Watrin earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
