Diamond League to increase athlete prize money to highest-ever level in 2025




The Diamond League track and field series is set to increase its prize money next season, World Athletics said Wednesday.

The announcement comes as the World Athletics president Sebastian Coe bids to become president of the International Olympic Committee.

The total prize money to be paid in 2025 will reach $9.2 million US, the highest amount since the series launched in 2010.

Next year's schedule includes 14 one-day meets and the two-day final in Zurich in August.

At each meet, the total prize money per discipline will be between $30,000 and $50,000; and at the final between $60,000 and $100,000. The prize money is gender equal.
