DIAMOND LEAGUE · 2010 · GBR

London Grand Prix 2010 prize money

The 2010 London Grand Prix paid $775,500 across 27 disciplines at Crystal Palace, London, 13 to 14 August 2010. Allyson Felix walked out with the most of it, $20,000 from two disciplines.

The Diamond League pays by finishing place. One card sets what first through eighth is worth and the same figure applies in every discipline on it, so the tables below are the same ladder 27 times over. Ninth place pays nothing, however good the field.

First place takes 33% of what a discipline pays out and eighth takes 3.3%. That ladder is repeated 27 times at this meeting and it is the whole of how the Diamond League pays: no appearance money, no record bonus, nothing for ninth. Where athletes tie, they take the places they occupy between them, the money for those places is added up and split equally, and the meeting's total does not move. Two athletes finished level here.

Every discipline on the same tier pays out the identical amount, so the last column is one figure repeated rather than a ranking. What differs between the rows is who was standing in each place when it was handed over.

Allyson Felix took $20,000 of the $775,500 this meeting paid out. The table lists the 30 biggest of 205; every one of them is in the payment table above.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2010 London Grand Prix pay?

$775,500 in all, across 27 disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $30,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2010 London Grand Prix pay?

$10,000. That is 33% of what the discipline pays out in total, and it is the same figure whether the win came in the 100 m or the javelin.

How far down the field does the Diamond League pay?

Eight places, and ninth pays nothing. 211 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 207 of them were paid, so 4 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2010 London Grand Prix?

Allyson Felix, on $20,000 from two disciplines. Two athletes were paid more than once at this meeting.

How is a tie paid at the Diamond League?

The tied athletes take the places they occupy and the money for all of those places is added up and split equally. Two athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why two figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the London Grand Prix worth more than a normal Diamond League meeting?

No. It is a series meeting and it pays the series card, which is the same card every other series meeting of 2010 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

The 2010 Diamond League ran fourteen meetings and paid $6,553,000, and Diamond League prize money covers all 224 meetings on this site and the $113,397,000 they paid between them. London Grand Prix has its own page across every edition of it, and the other six are 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2012 and 2011.
