Elisabeth Pihela prize money
Elisabeth Pihela has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1319th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's high jump, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | High jump | 8th | $1,000 |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2025 | High jump | 9th | — |
| Xiamen Diamond League 2023 | High jump | 4th | $2,000 |
| Athletissima 2023 | High jump | 9th | — |
| Memorial Van Damme 2023 | High jump | 9th | — |
| All five | Women's high jump | — | $3,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Elisabeth Pihela stood in one 2025 World Championships final in Tokyo and finished outside the money. The championships pay eight places, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th, and nothing at all below that. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Elisabeth Pihela in 2024, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elisabeth Pihela won?
$3,000, which ranks 1319th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2023 and 2025.
What is Elisabeth Pihela's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 4th in the high jump at the 2023 Xiamen Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elisabeth Pihela 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 Elisabeth Pihela ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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 Elisabeth Pihela 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.
