Shi Yuhao prize money
Shi Yuhao has been paid $9,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1619th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's long jump, the best of them 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Diamond League 2026 | Long jump | 9th | - |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | Long jump | 3rd | $3,500 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2018 | Long jump | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All three | Men's long jump | - | $9,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,500 is two 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 three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

What Shi Yuhao did in Tokyo, 2025
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's long jump | 3rd | 8.33 m | $22,000 |
The 2025 World Championships paid Shi Yuhao $22,000 for one finish in Tokyo, against $9,500 from three Diamond League starts between 2018 and 2026. Nine days there paid him more than any whole Diamond League season has. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $6,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Shi Yuhao in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Shi Yuhao won?
$9,500, which ranks 1619th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2018 and 2026.
What is Shi Yuhao's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the long jump at the 2018 IAAF Diamond League Shanghai. 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 Shi Yuhao 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.
Has Shi Yuhao 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.
How much did Shi Yuhao win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Shi Yuhao earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships 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
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Shi Yuhao is Rosângela Santos on $9,500, and one below Sofi Flink on $9,500. Shi Yuhao is one of 114 China athletes athletics has paid, and China athletics prize money adds them up to $1,813,250 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see men's long jump prize money. The series has paid out in 21 men's disciplines and Shi Yuhao has been paid in one of them. The biggest of the rest are men's 100 m, men's pole vault and men's 800 m. Every meeting he has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Xiamen Diamond League has its own page across every edition of it. 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 long jump page.
