Magdalyne Masai prize money

Magdalyne Masai has been paid $5,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2057th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase and women's 5000 m, the best of them 5th.

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 three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,000 is three 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 Magdalyne Masai won?

$5,000, which ranks 2057th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2015.

What is Magdalyne Masai's biggest Diamond League payday?

$2,500, for finishing 5th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2015 British Athletics 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 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.

How does the Diamond League decide what Magdalyne Masai 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Magdalyne Masai 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 her, priced off the card it published.

Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's marathon page.
