AG Memorial Van Damme 2025 prize money

The 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme paid $498,500 across fourteen disciplines at King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels, 22 August 2025. Four athletes left with the biggest cheque of the day, $20,000 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. Two ladders, in fact: four of these disciplines were Diamond+, which pays $50,000 against the $30,000 the other ten paid.

First place takes 40% of what a discipline pays out and eighth takes 3.0%. 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. Ten athletes finished level here.

Every discipline on the same tier pays out the identical amount, so the last column is two figures 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 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme pay?

$498,500 in all, across fourteen disciplines. Ten of them paid $30,000 and four were Diamond+, which paid $50,000.

What did winning at the 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme pay?

$20,000 in a Diamond+ discipline and $10,000 in the rest. 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. 143 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 113 of them were paid, so 30 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme?

Four athletes tied at the top on $20,000 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. They were Agnes Jebet Ngetich, Katie Moon, Ralford Mullings and Ruben Querinjean. 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. Ten athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why ten figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the AG Memorial Van Damme 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 2025 paid. The final is the one that pays more.

Where to next

The rest of the Diamond League money

The 2025 Diamond League ran fifteen meetings and paid $9,188,500, and Diamond League prize money covers all 104 meetings on this site and the $53,753,250 they paid between them. AG Memorial Van Damme has its own page across every edition of it, and the other six are 2026, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2019.
