Taresa Tolosa prize money
Taresa Tolosa has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1238th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the men's mile and men's 1500 m, and it was 3rd.
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 | Mile | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2018 | 1500 m | 10th | — |
| All two | two disciplines | — | $4,000 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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.
The World Cross Country Championships
What Taresa Tolosa ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed relay | — | 22:43 | — | $8,000 |
Taresa Tolosa 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 team he ran on earned Ethiopia $8,000, all of it from the mixed relay, which is timed rather than scored and pays a country rather than the four who ran it. It is the federation's money rather than his, and it is not added to the $4,000 at the top of this page. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Taresa Tolosa won?
$4,000, which ranks 1238th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2018.
What is Taresa Tolosa's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the mile at the 2018 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 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Taresa Tolosa 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 mile 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 Taresa Tolosa 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 Taresa Tolosa earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
