Anniversary Games prize money

Anniversary Games has paid $3,504,500 to 664 athletes across eight editions, from 2013 to 2021. Dafne Schippers has taken more of it than anyone, $37,500.

The Diamond League pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so the rate here is the series rate: $10,000 for a win at the 2021 edition, eight places paid in every discipline, and nothing for ninth. It has always been a series meeting, so the final ladder has never applied here.

What each edition paid

season running total

The line is the running total. A meeting's pot is its rate multiplied by its programme, so the columns move with how many disciplines were on the card rather than with who turned up: the biggest edition here ran 16 disciplines and the smallest 13.

A discipline that has been on every programme has paid more here than one that has been on two, and that is the whole of what the column above ranks: the rate is the same in all of them. Each discipline links to what it has paid across the series.

One column per ladder, and a column covers every discipline the meeting ran while that ladder was in force. The series ladder has been rewritten once inside the run of editions here, and a win has paid $10,000 under every version of it. What moved is underneath: eighth place was worth $1,000 on the oldest card on this table and $500 on the current one, and the eight places together came to $30,000 against $25,000. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record and nothing for ninth, and where athletes tied they took the places between them and split the money for all of them.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Anniversary Games paid?

$3,504,500 across eight editions, to 664 athletes from 79 countries. That is 3.1% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.

What does a win at Anniversary Games pay?

$10,000. It is the same figure in every discipline on the programme, so a win in the shot put pays what a win in the 100 m pays.

Who has earned the most at Anniversary Games?

Dafne Schippers, on $37,500 from five paid finishes, three of them wins. 188 of the 664 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.

How many editions of Anniversary Games are on this site?

Eight, from 2013 to 2021. Those programmes ran 120 disciplines between them and produced 939 payments. It has been held in three cities over that run: Gateshead, London and Glasgow. It has carried five names, and the current one is Anniversary Games.

Which disciplines does Anniversary Games run?

35 different ones across the eight editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so women's pole vault has been on it seven times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.

How far down the field does Anniversary Games pay?

Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 939 payments have gone to 664 athletes at this meeting, and 46 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
