Sondre Guttormsen prize money
Sondre Guttormsen has been paid $64,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 479th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the men's pole vault, 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
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $64,250 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 23 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sondre Guttormsen won?
$64,250, which ranks 479th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Sondre Guttormsen's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the pole vault at the 2026 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 Sondre Guttormsen 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 pole vault 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 Sondre Guttormsen ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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.
How much did Sondre Guttormsen win at the 2025 World Championships?
$7,000, 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.
How much did Sondre Guttormsen win at the Ultimate Championship?
$40,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
How much has Sondre Guttormsen won at the World Indoor Championships?
$8,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Sondre Guttormsen earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships, Ultimate Championship and World Indoor 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.
