Elena Kulichenko prize money
Elena Kulichenko has been paid $3,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2288th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's high jump, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2026 | High jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| London Athletics Meet 2025 | High jump | 6th | $2,000 |
| All two | Women's high jump | - | $3,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,500 is two 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elena Kulichenko won?
$3,500, which ranks 2288th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2025 and 2026.
What is Elena Kulichenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the high jump at the 2025 London Athletics Meet. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elena Kulichenko 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 high jump 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.
Is this everything Elena Kulichenko 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.
