Elena Vallortigara prize money
Elena Vallortigara has been paid $15,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 705th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 5th.
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 $15,000 is twelve separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the fourteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $8,250 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Elena Vallortigara in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elena Vallortigara won?
$15,000, which ranks 705th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2018 and 2023.
What is Elena Vallortigara's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the high jump at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elena Vallortigara 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.
Has Elena Vallortigara ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Elena Vallortigara 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.
