Ida Karstoft prize money
Ida Karstoft has been paid $17,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 650th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from five paid finishes in the women's 200 m, 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.

| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2024 | 200 m | 6th | $1,000 |
| Bislett Games 2022 | 200 m | 1st | $10,000 |
| Bauhausgalan 2022 | 200 m | 3rd | $3,500 |
| Weltklasse Zürich 2022 | 200 m | 7th | $1,500 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2022 | 200 m | 5th | $1,250 |
| All five | Women's 200 m | — | $17,250 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $17,250 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $16,250 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Ida Karstoft in 2023, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $17,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Ida Karstoft won?
$17,250, which ranks 650th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from five paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is Ida Karstoft's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the 200 m at the 2022 Bislett Games. 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 Ida Karstoft 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 200 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Ida Karstoft won?
One of five, worth $10,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $1,500.
Is this everything Ida Karstoft 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.
