Flor Ruiz prize money
Flor Ruiz has been paid $37,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 781st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from thirteen paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, the best of them 2nd.
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.

The thirteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $37,500 is thirteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Flor Ruiz won?
$37,500, which ranks 781st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from thirteen paid finishes between 2023 and 2026.
What is Flor Ruiz's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the javelin throw at the 2026 AG Memorial Van Damme. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Flor Ruiz 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 javelin throw 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 much did Flor Ruiz win at the 2025 World Championships?
$7,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much did Flor Ruiz win at the Ultimate Championship?
$40,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
Is this everything Flor Ruiz earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and Ultimate Championship money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
