Leonard Kirwa Kosencha prize money
Leonard Kirwa Kosencha has been paid $14,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1376th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 800 m, one of them a win.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2012 | 800 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2012 | 800 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| All two | Men's 800 m | - | $14,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $14,000 is two 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Leonard Kirwa Kosencha won?
$14,000, which ranks 1376th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2012.
What is Leonard Kirwa Kosencha's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2012 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Leonard Kirwa Kosencha 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 Leonard Kirwa Kosencha won?
One of two, worth $10,000 between them. He has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Leonard Kirwa Kosencha 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.
