Liang Xiaojing prize money
Liang Xiaojing has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2763rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's 100 m, and it was 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.
The payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 100 m | 6th | $2,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 is one 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.
The World Indoor Championships
What Liang Xiaojing did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 60 metres | 8th | 7.14 | - |
Liang Xiaojing stood in one World Indoor Championships final and finished outside the money. The championships pay six places, $40,000 for a title down to $4,000 for 6th, and nothing at all below that. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Liang Xiaojing ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 5th | 42.61 | $6,000 |
The World Relays have paid $6,000 for the one team Liang Xiaojing ran on in Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to China rather than to the four who ran. The $2,000 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she 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. She ran alongside Chen Yujie, and the Diamond League has paid 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 Liang Xiaojing won?
$2,000, which ranks 2763rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2019.
What is Liang Xiaojing's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 100 m at the 2019 IAAF Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Liang Xiaojing gets paid?
Entirely by where she 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 women'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 Liang Xiaojing's World Relays teams win?
$6,000, across one paid final in Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Liang Xiaojing 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 Liang Xiaojing 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 her, priced off the card it published.

Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and IAAF Diamond League Shanghai has its own page across every edition of it. Indoor championships prize money is the Nanjing 2025 and Toruń 2026 championships, $4,664,000 put up across 53 finals, and the indoor final is on the women's 60 metres 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 women's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
