The Wanda Diamond League will increase athlete prize money to the highest levels in the series’ history from next season.
Following a decision by the Diamond League General Assembly on Sunday, the total amount of prize money paid over the course of the season will increase to 9,240,000 US dollars in 2025.
The new total is almost a third higher than the sum paid during the pandemic-affected period of 2021-2024, and the highest ever since the Diamond League’s launch in 2010.
Including promotional fees for top athletes, a total of around 18 million USD will be paid to athletes in total over the course of the 2025 season, with many more millions being invested in athlete services such as travel and transport, accommodation and medical and physio provision.
Under the new structure, the total prize money awarded per meeting will be 500,000 USD at each of the 14 regular series meetings, and 2,240,000 USD at the Wanda Diamond League Final.
The total prize money per discipline will be between 30,000 USD and 50,000 USD at the series meetings and between 60,000 USD and 100,000 USD at the Final.
As always, prize money is entirely gender-equal, with exactly the same rates for male and female athletes. The increase will also apply to all 32 Diamond Disciplines, benefitting athletes across the full diversity of track and field.
The increase in prize money reflects the Wanda Diamond League’s position as athletics’ premier one-day series and the backbone of the outdoor season for the world’s biggest stars.

With 15 meetings in 13 countries on four different continents, the series provides elite athletes from across the globe with a chance to compete at the highest level from April to September.
Since 2010, the series and its meetings have invested an estimated 270 million USD in athletes: 180 million USD in promotional fees and prize money, and around 90 million USD in athlete services.
As it enters its 16th season in 2025, the series will continue to provide the best conditions possible and highest level services for athletes in all disciplines.
“The Wanda Diamond League remains committed to rewarding the athletes more, whilst at the same time ensuring the long term sustainability of the series, so it continues to provide vital competition to the athletes for many more years to come,” said Petr Stastny, the CEO of Diamond League AG.
“In an ever-changing landscape in the sports, media and entertainment world, we have always been on the forefront of innovation in our sport of athletics. Featuring a total of 32 disciplines over each season, we provide the world's best athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest possible level. Having competitors from around 100 countries every year allows for TV audiences in 150 countries and territories, making our series a truly universal and global league,” he added.

还是比grand slam track差不少，那个总奖金多而且项目少

田联的亲儿子，还是希望能做大做强吧

霍洛威发的推很有意思，说不要让布鲁塞尔办钻石联赛(还是别让它办总决赛？)，看来霍洛威对布鲁塞尔有意见，曾经的黄金四站之一变成现在这样

后悔没截下来，霍洛威把评论删了，他在这条下面评论Don't host in Brussels

大满贯赛事和钻石联赛下赛季总奖金对比。大满贯赛事一年四站，每站固定12场比赛，不过每场要求每个人比不同的两个单项。钻石联赛全年15站，每站14个钻石项目，项目不固定。大满贯赛事每站冠军奖金10万刀，第八名也有1万刀，而钻石联赛今年分站赛冠军奖金为1万刀，第八名是500刀，虽然明年会提高奖金但也没多多少。大满贯赛事现在签约运动员：Sydney、Kerr、hocker、nuguse、Kenny、Kerley和melissa

大满贯赛事跨栏和平跑兼项，难度太大了吧？而且平跑运动员跑跨栏，有多少人有兴趣看呢？不是人人都是麦克劳林和本杰明这样的。
