Luca Sito prize money
Luca Sito has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1980th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's 400 m, and it was 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herculis 2024 | 400 m | 7th | $750 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2024 | 400 m | 9th | — |
| All two | Men's 400 m | — | $750 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Luca Sito won?
$750, which ranks 1980th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2024.
What is Luca Sito's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 400 m at the 2024 Herculis. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Luca Sito 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 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.
Has Luca Sito ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Luca Sito earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
