Diamond League Shanghai 2025 prize money

The 2025 Diamond League Shanghai paid $500,000 across fourteen disciplines at China Textile City Sports Centre, Shaoxing, 3 May 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. Two 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 Diamond League Shanghai pay?

$500,000 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 Diamond League Shanghai 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. 141 athletes finished a discipline at this meeting and 112 of them were paid, so 29 were in a result table here for nothing.

Who earned the most at the 2025 Diamond League Shanghai?

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 Akani Simbine, Anavia Battle, Chase Jackson and Cordell Tinch. 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. Two athletes finished level at this meeting, which is why two figures in the tables below are not round numbers off the card. The meeting's total is unchanged either way.

Is the Diamond League Shanghai 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
