Bislett Games prize money
Bislett Games has paid $3,526,500 to 642 athletes across nine editions, from 2017 to 2026. Karsten Warholm has taken more of it than anyone, $68,000.
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 122 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 14 disciplines and the smallest 13.
Every discipline held at Bislett Games
How often each one has been on the programme, and what it has paid
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 + |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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 Bislett Games paid?
$3,526,500 across nine editions, to 642 athletes from 86 countries. That is 6.6% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the nine seasons on this site.
What does a win at Bislett Games 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 Bislett Games?
Karsten Warholm, on $68,000 from eight paid finishes, five of them wins. 204 of the 642 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Bislett Games are on this site?
Nine, from 2017 to 2026. Those programmes ran 122 disciplines between them and produced 954 payments. It has carried two names, and the current one is Bislett Games.
Which disciplines does Bislett Games run?
35 different ones across the nine editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's 400 m hurdles has been on it eight times and a discipline's total here is its rate multiplied by how often it was run.
How far down the field does Bislett Games pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 954 payments have gone to 642 athletes at this meeting, and 175 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
