Simon Sundström prize money
Simon Sundström has been paid $1,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 3201st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2026 | 3000 m steeplechase | 16th | - |
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $500 |
| Bauhausgalan 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 10th | - |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 3000 m steeplechase | 7th | $750 |
| All four | Men's 3000 m steeplechase | - | $1,250 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,250 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. Two of the four starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

| Senior men's race | 28th | 30:01 | - | - |
Simon Sundström has run one race here and was paid nothing in his own name. Only the first six across the line are, $30,000 for the win down to $3,000 for 6th, and there is no appearance money underneath it. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $750 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Simon Sundström in 2025 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Simon Sundström won?
$1,250, which ranks 3201st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Simon Sundström's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2023 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Simon Sundström 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Simon Sundström ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Simon Sundström earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country 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.
