Piotr Małachowski prize money
Piotr Małachowski has been paid $312,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 39th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 50 paid finishes in the men's discus throw, 18 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 50 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $312,500 is 50 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.3% 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 Piotr Małachowski won?
$312,500, which ranks 39th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 50 paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Piotr Małachowski's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2017 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Piotr Małachowski 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 discus throw 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 Małachowski won?
18 of 50, worth $180,000 between them. Two of his appearances came at a final, which paid $15,000.
Is this everything Piotr Małachowski 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.
