Tomáš Staněk prize money
Tomáš Staněk has been paid $18,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 624th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the men's shot put, the best of them 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.

The eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $18,500 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the thirteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $8,500 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tomáš Staněk in 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $18,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tomáš Staněk won?
$18,500, which ranks 624th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2018 and 2024.
What is Tomáš Staněk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the shot put at the 2023 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. 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 Tomáš Staněk 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 shot put 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 Tomáš Staněk 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. He are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Tomáš Staněk 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.
