Mohamed Katir prize money
Mohamed Katir has been paid $56,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 550th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's 5000 m, men's 1500 m and men's 3000 m, three of them wins.
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 eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $56,000 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the twelve starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Mohamed Katir won?
$56,000, which ranks 550th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2021 and 2023.
What is Mohamed Katir's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 5000 m at the 2023 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Mohamed Katir 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 5000 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 Mohamed Katir won?
Three of twelve, worth $30,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $2,500.
Has Mohamed Katir 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Mohamed Katir 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.
