Elena Vallortigara prize money
Elena Vallortigara has been paid $27,800 by the Diamond League, which ranks 946th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fifteen paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 2nd.
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
The fifteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $27,800 is fifteen 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. Two of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $15,300 from four 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 $27,800.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elena Vallortigara won?
$27,800, which ranks 946th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fifteen paid finishes between 2018 and 2023.
What is Elena Vallortigara's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the high jump at the 2018 Müller Anniversary Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
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. Those starts 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 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.
