Gesa Felicitas Krause prize money
Gesa Felicitas Krause has been paid $59,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 520th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 23 paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, women's 1500 m and women's mile, 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 23 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $59,000 is 23 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 25 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $15,500 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Gesa Felicitas Krause in 2013, 2018, 2020, 2023 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $59,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Gesa Felicitas Krause won?
$59,000, which ranks 520th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 23 paid finishes between 2011 and 2026.
What is Gesa Felicitas Krause's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2017 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. 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 Gesa Felicitas Krause 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 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Gesa Felicitas Krause won?
One of 25, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $13,000.
Has Gesa Felicitas Krause 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.
How much did Gesa Felicitas Krause win at the 2025 World Championships?
$6,000, 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.
Is this everything Gesa Felicitas Krause earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships 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.
