Sergey Morgunov prize money
Sergey Morgunov has been paid $6,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1936th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's long jump, and it was 2nd.
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 payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial van Damme 2012 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,000 is one 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sergey Morgunov won?
$6,000, which ranks 1936th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2012.
What is Sergey Morgunov's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2012 Memorial van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sergey Morgunov 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 Sergey Morgunov 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.
