Alysha Newman prize money
Alysha Newman has been paid $76,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 410th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's pole vault, one of them a win.
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
The 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $76,500 is 20 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 23 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The Olympic Games
What Alysha Newman won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the women's pole vault paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $31,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Alysha Newman in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $76,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Alysha Newman won?
$76,500, which ranks 410th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2016 and 2025.
What is Alysha Newman's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2019 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Alysha Newman 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 win is worth the same in the women's pole vault 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 many Diamond League meetings has Alysha Newman won?
One of 23, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $27,000.
Has Alysha Newman ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Alysha Newman 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.
