Iryna Herashchenko prize money
Iryna Herashchenko has been paid $137,375 by the Diamond League, which ranks 209th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 34 paid finishes in the women's high jump, two of them wins.
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 34 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $137,375 is 34 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 35 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
The Ultimate Championship
What Iryna Herashchenko did in Budapest, 2026
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's high jump | 5th | 1.91 m | - |
Iryna Herashchenko stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.
The Olympic Games
What Iryna Herashchenko won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's high jump | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the women's high jump 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.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $33,500 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Iryna Herashchenko in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $137,375.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Iryna Herashchenko won?
$137,375, which ranks 209th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 34 paid finishes between 2016 and 2026.
What is Iryna Herashchenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the high jump at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Iryna Herashchenko 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 high jump 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 Iryna Herashchenko won?
Two of 35, worth $20,000 between them. Five of her appearances came at a final, which paid $27,000.
Has Iryna Herashchenko 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.
Is this everything Iryna Herashchenko 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.
