Alina Rotaru-Kottmann prize money
Alina Rotaru-Kottmann has been paid $750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1949th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from one paid finish in the women's long jump, and it was 7th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2024 | Long jump | 7th | $750 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2024 | Long jump | 9th | — |
| All two | Women's long jump | — | $750 |
The one paid figure add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $750 is one separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the two starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alina Rotaru-Kottmann won?
$750, which ranks 1949th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from one paid finish in 2024.
What is Alina Rotaru-Kottmann's biggest Diamond League payday?
$750, for finishing 7th in the long jump at the 2024 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alina Rotaru-Kottmann 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 long jump 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.
Has Alina Rotaru-Kottmann ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She is in the result table on this site either way.
How much has Alina Rotaru-Kottmann won at the World Indoor Championships?
$6,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. 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 Alina Rotaru-Kottmann earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
