Anastasiya Savchenko prize money
Anastasiya Savchenko has been paid $23,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1037th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven 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.

The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $23,500 is seven 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Anastasiya Savchenko won?
$23,500, which ranks 1037th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2011 and 2014.
What is Anastasiya Savchenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2012 Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix. 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 Anastasiya Savchenko 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 Anastasiya Savchenko won?
One of seven, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Anastasiya Savchenko 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.
