Birmingham Diamond League prize money
Birmingham Diamond League has paid $4,417,000 to 760 athletes across ten editions, from 2011 to 2022. Katerina Stefanidi has taken more of it than anyone, $48,000.
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 2022 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.
What each place has paid at Birmingham Diamond League
The two ladders this meeting has paid under
| PLACE | SERIES | SERIES |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | $10,000 | $10,000 |
| 2nd | $6,000 | $6,000 |
| 3rd | $4,000 | $3,500 |
| 4th | $3,000 | $2,000 |
| 5th | $2,500 | $1,250 |
| 6th | $2,000 | $1,000 |
| 7th | $1,500 | $750 |
| 8th | $1,000 | $500 |
| All eight | $30,000 | $25,000 |
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 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 Birmingham Diamond League paid?
$4,417,000 across ten editions, to 760 athletes from 81 countries. That is 3.9% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the sixteen seasons on this site.
What does a win at Birmingham Diamond League 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 Birmingham Diamond League?
Katerina Stefanidi, on $48,000 from seven paid finishes, three of them wins. 245 of the 760 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Birmingham Diamond League are on this site?
Ten, from 2011 to 2022. Those programmes ran 152 disciplines between them and produced 1,180 payments. It has carried five names, and the current one is Birmingham Diamond League.
Which disciplines does Birmingham Diamond League run?
35 different ones across the ten editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so women's pole vault has been on it ten times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does Birmingham Diamond League pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 1,180 payments have gone to 760 athletes at this meeting, and 49 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
