Golden Gala Pietro Mennea prize money
Golden Gala Pietro Mennea has paid $2,842,500 to 523 athletes across seven editions, from 2019 to 2026. Sandi Morris has taken more of it than anyone, $34,750.
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 99 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 15 disciplines and the smallest 14.

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 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea paid?
$2,842,500 across seven editions, to 523 athletes from 80 countries. That is 5.3% of everything the Diamond League has paid across the nine seasons on this site.
What does a win at Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 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 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea?
Sandi Morris, on $34,750 from six paid finishes, two of them wins. 164 of the 523 athletes the meeting has paid were paid at it more than once.
How many editions of Golden Gala Pietro Mennea are on this site?
Seven, from 2019 to 2026. Those programmes ran 99 disciplines between them and produced 789 payments. It has been held in two cities over that run: Rome and Florence.
Which disciplines does Golden Gala Pietro Mennea run?
28 different ones across the seven editions, and never all of them at once: the series rotates its programme, so men's high jump 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 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however fast the race was. 789 payments have gone to 523 athletes at this meeting, and 212 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
