Weltklasse Zürich 2023 prize money

The 2023 Weltklasse Zürich paid $374,500 across fifteen disciplines at Letzigrund, Zürich, 31 August 2023. Fifteen 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 fifteen 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 2023 Weltklasse Zürich pay?

$374,500 in all, across fifteen disciplines. Every discipline paid the same $25,000, because the series applies one card to all of them.

What did winning at the 2023 Weltklasse Zürich 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. 145 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 119 of them were paid, so 26 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2023 Weltklasse Zürich?

Fifteen 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. Three athletes were paid more than once at this meeting.

Is the Weltklasse Zürich 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 2023 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

The 2023 Diamond League ran fourteen meetings and paid $6,520,250, and Diamond League prize money covers all 104 meetings on this site and the $53,753,250 they paid between them. Weltklasse Zürich has its own page across every edition of it, and the other six are 2026, 2025, 2024, 2022, 2021 and 2019.
