Athletissima prize money
Athletissima has paid $6,959,500 to 1,105 athletes across sixteen editions, from 2010 to 2026. Renaud Lavillenie has taken more of it than anyone, $62,000.
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 2026 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. 12 of the 240 disciplines on those programmes have been Diamond+, which pays double.

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 14.

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.

The five ladders this meeting has paid under
| PLACE | SERIES | SERIES | SERIES | SERIES + | SERIES + |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 | $10,000 | $10,000 | $20,000 | $20,000 |

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 two times 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 $1,000 on the current one, and the eight places together came to $30,000 against $30,000. 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 Athletissima paid?
$6,959,500 across sixteen editions, to 1,105 athletes from 97 countries. That is 6.1% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.
What does a win at Athletissima pay?
$10,000, and double that in a Diamond+ discipline. 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 Athletissima?
Renaud Lavillenie, on $62,000 from ten paid finishes, four of them wins. 417 of the 1,105 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Athletissima are on this site?
Sixteen, from 2010 to 2026. Those programmes ran 240 disciplines between them and produced 1,864 payments.
Which disciplines does Athletissima run?
34 different ones across the sixteen editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's pole vault has been on it thirteen times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does Athletissima pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 1,864 payments have gone to 1,105 athletes at this meeting, and 173 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
