Gina Lückenkemper prize money
Gina Lückenkemper has been paid $34,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 829th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the women's 100 m and women's 200 m, 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.

| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2017 | 100 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| All fifteen | two disciplines | - | $34,250 |
The fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $34,250 is fourteen 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. One of the fifteen starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The World Championships
What Gina Lückenkemper did in Tokyo, 2025
Gina Lückenkemper went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. She ran on the Germany team that finished 3rd in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, $20,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Gina Lückenkemper ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 6th | 42.61 | $4,000 |
The World Relays have paid $4,000 for the one team Gina Lückenkemper ran on in Gaborone 2026, and all of it went to Germany rather than to the four who ran. The $34,250 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. She ran alongside Rebekka Haase, and the Diamond League has paid them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Gina Lückenkemper won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the women's 4 × 100 metres relay paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.
Discipline by discipline

| Women's 200 m | 1 | - | 2017 | $3,000 |
The women's 100 m has paid Gina Lückenkemper $31,250 of the $34,250, which is 91% of everything the series has given her.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $10,250 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Gina Lückenkemper in 2020 and 2021, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $34,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Gina Lückenkemper won?
$34,250, which ranks 829th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2017 and 2025.
What is Gina Lückenkemper's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m at the 2023 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Gina Lückenkemper 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 100 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 Gina Lückenkemper ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
What did Gina Lückenkemper's World Relays teams win?
$4,000, across one paid final in Gaborone 2026. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Gina Lückenkemper or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Gina Lückenkemper earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 3,683 athletes across the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out. One place above Gina Lückenkemper is Claudine Vita on $34,250, and one below Benjamin Robert on $34,000. Gina Lückenkemper is one of 139 Germany athletes athletics has paid, and Germany athletics prize money adds them up to $4,199,250 across all six competitions. For the event itself, see women's 100 m prize money and women's 200 m prize money. The series has paid out in 20 women's disciplines and Gina Lückenkemper has been paid in two of them. The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m hurdles, women's 400 m and women's 800 m. Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Bislett Games has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
