Emily Grove prize money
Emily Grove has been paid $53,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 574th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the women's pole vault, one of them a win.
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 sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $53,750 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the 18 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The Ultimate Championship
What Emily Grove did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | 8th | 4.70 m | - |
Emily Grove stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The World Indoor Championships
What Emily Grove did indoors
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's pole vault | =9th | 4.45 m | - |
Emily Grove stood in one World Indoor Championships final and finished outside the money. The championships pay six places, $40,000 for a title down to $4,000 for 6th, and nothing at all below that. The indoor championships page holds all 53 finals across two editions and the $4,632,000 they paid out.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $27,750 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Emily Grove in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $53,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Emily Grove won?
$53,750, which ranks 574th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2018 and 2026.
What is Emily Grove's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2024 Prefontaine Classic. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Emily Grove 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 win is worth the same in the women's pole vault 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 many Diamond League meetings has Emily Grove won?
One of 18, worth $10,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $9,500.
Has Emily Grove 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 Emily Grove 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.
