DIAMOND LEAGUE · 2021

Anniversary Games 2021 prize money

The 2021 Anniversary Games paid $348,000 across fourteen disciplines at Gateshead International Stadium, Gateshead, 13 July 2021. Jodie Williams walked out with the most of it, $12,000 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 fourteen 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 2021 Anniversary Games pay?

$348,000 in all, across fourteen disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $25,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2021 Anniversary Games pay?

$10,000. That is 40% 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. 123 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 108 of them were paid, so 15 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2021 Anniversary Games?

Jodie Williams, on $12,000 from two disciplines. One athlete was paid more than once at this meeting.

Is the Anniversary Games 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 2021 paid. The final is the one that pays more.
