Simon Wieland prize money
Simon Wieland has been paid $3,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2331st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's javelin throw, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athletissima 2026 | Javelin throw | 9th | - |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2026 | Javelin throw | 9th | - |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2025 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2024 | Javelin throw | 9th | - |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2021 | Javelin throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2019 | Javelin throw | 9th | - |
| All six | Men's javelin throw | - | $3,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,500 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. Four of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Simon Wieland in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Simon Wieland won?
$3,500, which ranks 2331st 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 2026.
What is Simon Wieland's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the javelin throw at the 2021 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Simon Wieland 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 javelin 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.
Has Simon Wieland ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four 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 Wieland 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.
