Shanghai Golden Grand Prix 2014 prize money

The 2014 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix paid $468,000 across sixteen disciplines at Shanghai Stadium, Shanghai, 18 May 2014. Blessing Okagbare 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 sixteen 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 sixteen 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. Four 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.

Blessing Okagbare took $20,000 of the $468,000 this meeting paid out. The table lists the 30 biggest of 126; every one of them is in the payment table above.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2014 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix pay?

$468,000 in all, across sixteen disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $30,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2014 Shanghai Golden 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. 129 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 127 of them were paid, so 2 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2014 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix?

Blessing Okagbare, on $20,000 from two disciplines. One athlete was 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. Four athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why four figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the Shanghai Golden 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 2014 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

The 2014 Diamond League ran fourteen meetings and paid $6,576,500, and Diamond League prize money covers all 224 meetings on this site and the $113,397,000 they paid between them. Shanghai Golden Grand Prix has its own page across every edition of it, and the other twelve are 2026, 2025, 2024, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
