Robin Vanderbemden prize money
Robin Vanderbemden has been paid $4,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2081st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 200 m, 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2022 | 200 m | 7th | $750 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 200 m | 6th | $4,000 |
| All two | Men's 200 m | - | $4,750 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,750 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The World Championships
What Robin Vanderbemden did in Tokyo, 2025
Robin Vanderbemden went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Belgium team that finished 4th in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay, $16,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Indoor Championships
What Robin Vanderbemden did indoors
Robin Vanderbemden went to the World Indoor Championships on a relay and ran no individual final there. He ran on the Belgium team that finished 2nd in the men's 4 × 400 metres relay in Toruń 2026, $20,000 to the team rather than to any one of the four. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Robin Vanderbemden ran on, 2025 and 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | 2nd | 2:58.19 | $20,000 |
| Men's 4 × 400 metres relay | 7th | 3:00.69 | $3,000 |
The World Relays have paid $23,000 for the two teams Robin Vanderbemden ran on across Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Belgium rather than to the four who ran. The $4,750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid him. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team he ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. He ran alongside Jonathan Sacoor, Daniel Segers, Alexander Doom, Julien Watrin and Dylan Borlée, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $4,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Robin Vanderbemden in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Robin Vanderbemden won?
$4,750, which ranks 2081st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Robin Vanderbemden's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 6th in the 200 m at the 2019 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 Robin Vanderbemden 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 200 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.
What did Robin Vanderbemden's World Relays teams win?
$23,000, across two paid finals at Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Robin Vanderbemden or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Robin Vanderbemden earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
Where to next

Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page. Indoor championships prize money is the Nanjing 2025 and Toruń 2026 championships, $4,664,000 put up across 53 finals, and the indoor final is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the men's 4 × 400 metres relay page.
