2025 Wanda Diamond League: Amusan, Brume, Enekwechi to earn more if..

Three-time Wanda Diamond League winner, Tobi Amusan and finalists, Ese Brume and Chukwuebuka Enekwechi may earn more from the athletics’ elite one-day meeting series in 2025 following the announcement organizers will ‘adopt a new prize money structure from 2025 with larger rewards on offer for individual athletes across the track and field disciplines.’

While individual athletes will continue to win up to 10,000 USD at series meetings and up to 30,000 USD at the Wanda Diamond League Final, there will, however, be a ‘select number of Diamond+ Disciplines, in which athletes can earn higher prize money.’

In these disciplines, organizers say the maximum prize money for individual athletes will rise to 20,000 USD at series meetings and 50,000 USD at the Final.

‘There will be four (two male and two female) Diamond+ Disciplines at each series meeting and eight (four male and four female) at the Final. Each meeting will announce their Diamond+ Disciplines in the first half of 2025,’ wrote the Diamond League organizers on the competition’s website.

Amusan may earn more money if the ever competitive 100m hurdles which saw 12 athletes running inside 12.40 with two breaking 12.30.

In all disciplines, prize money will also increase – and in some cases double – for athletes finishing lower than second.

In addition, athletes finishing between 9th and 12th will now also receive fixed prize money in all disciplines (both track and field) at both series meetings and at the Final.

The new season will see a total of 9.24 million USD paid out in prize money, the highest total pot in the series’ history.

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.
