Alina Talay prize money
Alina Talay has been paid $42,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 712th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 17 paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, the best of them 3rd.
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 17 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $42,000 is 17 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.04% 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 Alina Talay won?
$42,000, which ranks 712th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 17 paid finishes between 2012 and 2018.
What is Alina Talay's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing 5th in the 100 m hurdles at the 2017 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alina Talay 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.
Is this everything Alina Talay 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.
