Piotr Lisek prize money
Piotr Lisek has been paid $56,625 by the Diamond League, which ranks 267th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the men's pole vault, two 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 sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $56,625 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $46,750 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Piotr Lisek in 2020 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $56,625.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Piotr Lisek won?
$56,625, which ranks 267th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2018 and 2025.
What is Piotr Lisek's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2019 Athletissima. 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 Piotr Lisek 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 pole vault 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 Piotr Lisek won?
Two of 17, worth $20,000 between them. One of his appearance came at a final, which paid $8,000.
Has Piotr Lisek 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 Piotr Lisek 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.
