Christin Wurth-Thomas prize money
Christin Wurth-Thomas has been paid $18,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1194th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's 1500 m and women's 800 m, 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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala 2011 | 1500 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Aviva British Grand Prix 2011 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| Meeting Areva 2010 | 1500 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| British Grand Prix 2010 | 800 m | 4th | $3,000 |

| Athletissima 2010 | 1500 m | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | two disciplines | - | $18,500 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $18,500 is six 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 Christin Wurth-Thomas won?
$18,500, which ranks 1194th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2010 and 2011.
What is Christin Wurth-Thomas's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 1500 m at the 2010 Meeting Areva. 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 Christin Wurth-Thomas 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 1500 m 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 Christin Wurth-Thomas won?
One of six, worth $10,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Christin Wurth-Thomas 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.
