2015 Diamond League - Money, Points, Statistics

Published by IAAF on May 11, 2015

The 2015 edition of the IAAF Diamond League gets underway on Friday in Doha (15) and is swiftly followed by a meeting in Shanghai on Sunday (17), providing an outstanding curtain-raiser to this year’s series.

Once again, the series of 14 meetings are each offering USD$480,000 in prize money and the IAAF Diamond League showcases 32 event disciplines which are carefully distributed among the meetings. 

In each of the event disciplines, there is a ‘Diamond Race�' with points available throughout the season. 

Each of the 32 event disciplines is staged seven times with the top three athletes being awarded the same amount of points at each meeting, with the exception of the final where the points are doubled.

The overall winner of each of the 32 Diamond Races will receive a USD$40,000 cash prize and a spectacular Diamond Trophy. 

Combine the individual meeting prize money with the Diamond Race cash, and the IAAF Diamond League is offering a total of USD$8 million in prize money in 2015.
