Koen Smet prize money
Koen Smet has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2561st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 110 m hurdles, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | 110 m hurdles | 7th | $1,500 |
| Athletissima 2021 | 110 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's 110 m hurdles | - | $2,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Koen Smet won?
$2,500, which ranks 2561st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2021.
What is Koen Smet's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the 110 m hurdles at the 2021 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 Koen Smet 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 110 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.
Is this everything Koen Smet 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.
