Sven Martin Skagestad prize money
Sven Martin Skagestad has been paid $1,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1918th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's discus throw, and it was 8th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2018 | Discus throw | 10th | — |
| Bislett Games 2017 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's discus throw | — | $1,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $1,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2017 to 2018, in the order it was won
season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Sven Martin Skagestad in 2018, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $1,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sven Martin Skagestad won?
$1,000, which ranks 1918th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish between 2017 and 2018.
What is Sven Martin Skagestad's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the discus throw at the 2017 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sven Martin Skagestad 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 discus 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 Sven Martin Skagestad 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. He is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Sven Martin Skagestad earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
