Vítězslav Veselý prize money
Vítězslav Veselý has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1242nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the men's javelin throw, the best of them 5th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2022 | Javelin throw | 6th | $1,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | Javelin throw | 7th | $750 |
| Athletissima 2021 | Javelin throw | 5th | $1,250 |
| Meeting de Paris 2021 | Javelin throw | 6th | $1,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2017 | Javelin throw | 9th | — |
| All five | Men's javelin throw | — | $4,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is four 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 five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $2,250 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Vítězslav Veselý in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Vítězslav Veselý won?
$4,000, which ranks 1242nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Vítězslav Veselý's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,250, for finishing 5th in the javelin throw at the 2021 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Vítězslav Veselý 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 javelin 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 Vítězslav Veselý 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 Vítězslav Veselý 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.
