Becky Holliday Ward prize money
Becky Holliday Ward has been paid $3,583 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2263rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's pole vault, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adidas Grand Prix 2013 | Pole vault | =6th | $1,750 |
| Golden Grand Prix 2013 | Pole vault | =8th | $333 |
| Prefontaine Classic 2011 | Pole vault | 7th | $1,500 |
| All three | Women's pole vault | - | $3,583 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,583 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
