How much did Letsile Tebogo and Jacob Ingebrigtsen earn at Lausanne Diamond League? Complete prize money breakdown

The Lausanne Diamond League is done with, and alongside some valuable ranking points, winners like Letsile Tebogo and Jakob Ingebrigtsen will be walking home with a generous sum of prize money. For more than a decade now, the competition has awarded the top eight finishers for their efforts. Here is a full breakdown of what the athletes earned from their time at the Ouchy stadium.

As is expected, the top three finishers of each event garner the most lucrative prizes. The athletes who placed first at the Lausanne Diamond League will be claiming $10,000 in cash, meaning that Tebogo, Ingebrigtsen, Mondo Duplantis, Femke Bol, and more will walk out of Lausanne richer than they were when they arrived.

The next two competitors behind the winners receive $6,000 and $4,000 respectively.

Athletes who come in fourth and fifth are rewarded with $3,000 and $2,500, and the last three finishers at the Diamond League earned $2,000, $1,500, and $1,000 respectively.

Outside of the prize money that is up for grabs at individual events like the Lausanne Diamond League, athletes get a chance to earn extra cash rewards at the Diamond League Finals. Winners of each event at the finals receive a $30,000 cash prize and the trademark Diamond Trophy created by Beyer.
