Daisy Osakue prize money
Daisy Osakue has been paid $8,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1672nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from seven paid finishes in the women's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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.

| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2018 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All eight | Women's discus throw | - | $8,500 |
The seven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,500 is seven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2024 is the biggest of them, $3,500 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Daisy Osakue in 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $8,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Daisy Osakue won?
$8,500, which ranks 1672nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from seven paid finishes between 2018 and 2025.
What is Daisy Osakue's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2024 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Daisy Osakue 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 place is worth the same in the women's discus 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.
Has Daisy Osakue ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Daisy Osakue 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.
