Fancy Cherono prize money
Fancy Cherono has been paid $2,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1498th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | 3000 m steeplechase | 6th | $1,000 |
| IAAF Diamond League Shanghai 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $2,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,000 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.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Fancy Cherono in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Fancy Cherono won?
$2,000, which ranks 1498th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Fancy Cherono's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 6th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2022 Bauhausgalan. 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 Fancy 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 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.
Is this everything Fancy Cherono 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.
