Elizabeth Bird prize money
Elizabeth Bird has been paid $9,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 852nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2024 | 3000 m steeplechase | 3rd | $3,500 |
| London Athletics Meet 2023 | 3000 m steeplechase | 11th | — |
| Herculis 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Meeting de Paris 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $2,000 |
| Herculis EBS 2021 | 3000 m steeplechase | 7th | $750 |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 13th | — |
| All six | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $9,750 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,750 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Elizabeth Bird in 2019, 2020 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $9,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Elizabeth Bird won?
$9,750, which ranks 852nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2019 and 2024.
What is Elizabeth Bird's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,500, for finishing 3rd in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2024 Meeting de Paris. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Elizabeth Bird 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 3000 m steeplechase 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 Elizabeth Bird 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 Elizabeth Bird 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.
