Irina Rodrigues prize money
Irina Rodrigues has been paid $9,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1637th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from six paid finishes in the women's discus throw, the best of them 5th.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2016 | Discus throw | 5th | $2,500 |
| Muller Anniversary Games 2016 | Discus throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Qatar Athletic Super Grand Prix 2015 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| British Athletics Grand Prix 2015 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |

| Monaco 2013 | Discus throw | 8th | $1,000 |
| All six | Women's discus throw | - | $9,000 |
The six paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $9,000 is six 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 Irina Rodrigues won?
$9,000, which ranks 1637th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from six paid finishes between 2013 and 2016.
What is Irina Rodrigues's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,500, for finishing 5th in the discus throw at the 2016 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 5th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Irina Rodrigues 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 discus 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.
Is this everything Irina Rodrigues 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.
