Alena Abramchuk prize money
Alena Abramchuk has been paid $17,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1227th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 4th.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.

The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2013 is the biggest of them, $8,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Alena Abramchuk in 2012 and 2015, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $17,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alena Abramchuk won?
$17,500, which ranks 1227th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2011 and 2016.
What is Alena Abramchuk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the shot put at the 2013 Sainsburys Anniversary Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alena Abramchuk gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the women's shot put as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Is this everything Alena Abramchuk earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
