Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2018 prize money

The 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham paid $414,000 across fourteen disciplines at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, 18 August 2018. Fourteen 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 fourteen 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 fourteen 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. Six 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money did the 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham pay?

$414,000 in all, across fourteen disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $30,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 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. 107 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 107 of them were paid, so 0 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2018 Müller Grand Prix Birmingham?

Fourteen 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.

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. Six athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why six figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 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 2018 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

The 2018 Diamond League ran fourteen meetings and paid $8,062,500, and Diamond League prize money covers all 224 meetings on this site and the $113,397,000 they paid between them.
