Tomáš Staněk prize money
Tomáš Staněk has been paid $44,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 681st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 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.
Every payment
Where he finished, and what the card paid for it
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $44,500 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 20 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $13,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tomáš Staněk in 2016, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $44,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tomáš Staněk won?
$44,500, which ranks 681st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2015 and 2024.
What is Tomáš Staněk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing 5th in the shot put at the 2018 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 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. Those starts 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 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.
