Eva Cherono prize money
Eva Cherono has been paid $3,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2291st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 5000 m and women's 3000 m, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2021 | 5000 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2021 | 3000 m | 8th | $500 |
| Müller Anniversary Games 2019 | 5000 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 3000 m | 18th | - |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 5000 m | 11th | - |
| All five | two disciplines | - | $3,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the five starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Eva Cherono in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Eva Cherono won?
$3,500, which ranks 2291st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2019 and 2021.
What is Eva Cherono's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 5000 m at the 2019 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 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Eva Cherono 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 5000 m 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 Eva Cherono 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 Eva Cherono 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.
