DIAMOND LEAGUE · 2016 · QATAR

Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2016 prize money

The 2016 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix paid $476,000 across sixteen disciplines at Qatar SC Stadium, Doha, 6 May 2016. Sixteen athletes left with the biggest cheque of the day, $10,000 each.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2016 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix pay?

$476,000 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 2016 Qatar Athletic Super 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. 128 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 127 of them were paid, so 1 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2016 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix?

Sixteen athletes tied at the top on $10,000 each, because the series pays by finishing place and by nothing else: a win in the shot put is worth exactly what a win in the 100 m is. Every athlete paid here was paid once, because nobody doubled up.

Is the Qatar Athletic Super 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 2016 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next
