Ines Chenonge prize money

Ines Chenonge has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1848th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 5000 m and women's 3000 m, the best of them 4th.

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 Diamond League meeting on this site that Ines Chenonge finished, the discipline, the place and what it paid.
MEETING DISCIPLINE PLACE PAID
Athletissima 2010 Lausanne 3000 m Diamond League 4th $3,000
Meeting Areva 2010 Paris 5000 m Diamond League 6th $2,000
Memorial Van Damme 2010 Brussels 5000 m Diamond League 7th $1,500
All three two disciplines - $6,500

The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Ines Chenonge won?

$6,500, which ranks 1848th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes in 2010.

What is Ines Chenonge's biggest Diamond League payday?

$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 3000 m at the 2010 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.

How does the Diamond League decide what Ines Chenonge 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 5000 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.

Is this everything Ines Chenonge earns from athletics?

No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
