Wyclife Kinyamal prize money
Wyclife Kinyamal has been paid $112,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 119th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 29 paid finishes in the men's 800 m and men's 1000 m, four of them wins.
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 29 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $112,750 is 29 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 31 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Wyclife Kinyamal won?
$112,750, which ranks 119th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 29 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Wyclife Kinyamal's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2023 Herculis EBS. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Wyclife Kinyamal 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 win is worth the same in the men's 800 m 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Wyclife Kinyamal won?
Four of 31, worth $40,000 between them. Four of his appearances came at a final, which paid $9,000.
Has Wyclife Kinyamal 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 Wyclife Kinyamal 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.
