Barbora Špotáková prize money
Barbora Špotáková has been paid $39,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 382nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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 twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $39,000 is twelve separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $16,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Barbora Špotáková in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $39,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Barbora Špotáková won?
$39,000, which ranks 382nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Barbora Špotáková's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the javelin throw at the 2021 Herculis EBS. 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 Barbora Špotáková 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 javelin throw 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 Barbora Špotáková won?
One of twelve, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $11,500.
Is this everything Barbora Špotáková earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
