Murali Sreeshankar prize money
Murali Sreeshankar has been paid $7,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 971st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's long jump, the best of them 3rd.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2023 | Long jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Athletissima 2023 | Long jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2023 | Long jump | 5th | $1,250 |
| Herculis 2022 | Long jump | 6th | $1,000 |
| All four | Men's long jump | — | $7,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Murali Sreeshankar won?
$7,000, which ranks 971st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2022 and 2023.
What is Murali Sreeshankar's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the long jump at the 2023 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Murali Sreeshankar 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 long jump 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 Murali Sreeshankar 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.
