Rain falls on Mundo Duplantes after the Diamond League final
Zurich. Mundo Duplantis earned $30,000 in prize money when he won the Diamond League Finals.
That is approximately 320,000 Swedish kronor.
But he actually got three times that.
Add some bonuses from shoe contracts and other things to that and Mundo pulled in nearly a million kroner this evening.
The Diamond League has reduced its prize money since 2020.
Previously, the first place in the finals was worth $50,000, but it dropped to $30,000.
– On the other hand, the absolute best also gets the so-called impression fee, which is an amount for appearance only. The reason is that they should not earn less than they earn in a regular Diamond League, where the first prize is $10,000, but where the seed money raises that amount significantly, says manager Daniel Weisfeldt.
How much is at stake here in the final?
– Double the value of the prize in the case of Mondo. And a little more. He’s the biggest star today and has been in great demand this season. We had to refuse competitions that offered exorbitant amounts.
How many qualifications are in that category?
– Yes, there is not much. I think 90-95 percent of people here only compete for prize money.
They quickly drop after the first price of $30,000.
Second place “only” with a value of 12,000 and third 7,000.
Those who get paid to come in are the biggest stars like Mundo Duplantis, Norway’s Jacob Ingbrigtsen, American 200-man Noah Lyles, and Jamaica’s Nemesis Queen. Shelley Ann Fraser Price.
No other Swedes fall into this category.
