Nick Smidt prize money
Nick Smidt has been paid $7,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1780th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the men's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 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.

Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $2,500 |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 9th | - |

| Bislett Games 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $1,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 7th | $750 |
| All seven | Men's 400 m hurdles | - | $7,250 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,250 is six separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the seven 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 Nick Smidt won?
$7,250, which ranks 1780th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2022 and 2025.
What is Nick Smidt's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 6th in the Diamond+ 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Doha Diamond League. 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 Nick Smidt 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 hurdles 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 Nick Smidt 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 Nick Smidt 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.
