Alia Armstrong prize money
Alia Armstrong has been paid $5,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1956th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, the best of them 5th.
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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | 100 m hurdles | 5th | $3,000 |
| Herculis EBS 2025 | 100 m hurdles | 6th | $2,500 |
| All two | Women's 100 m hurdles | - | $5,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alia Armstrong won?
$5,500, which ranks 1956th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2025.
What is Alia Armstrong's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 5th in the Diamond+ 100 m hurdles at the 2025 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alia Armstrong 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 100 m hurdles 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.
How much has Alia Armstrong won at the World Indoor Championships?
$4,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Alia Armstrong earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
