Elijah Kosiba prize money
Elijah Kosiba has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1391st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's high jump, the best of them 7th.
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 he finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2025 | High jump | 7th | $1,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2025 | High jump | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Men's high jump | — | $2,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elijah Kosiba won?
$2,500, which ranks 1391st of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2025.
What is Elijah Kosiba's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,500, for finishing 7th in the high jump at the 2025 AG Memorial Van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 7th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elijah Kosiba gets paid?
Entirely by where he 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 men'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.
How much has Elijah Kosiba won at the World Indoor Championships?
$8,000, from one paid final in Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Elijah Kosiba earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid him, priced off the card it published.
