Janay Deloach prize money
Janay Deloach has been paid $83,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 375th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the women's long jump, three 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 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $83,000 is 21 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% 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 Janay Deloach won?
$83,000, which ranks 375th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2011 and 2016.
What is Janay Deloach's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2013 Adidas Grand Prix. 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 Janay Deloach 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 long 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 Janay Deloach won?
Three of 21, worth $30,000 between them. She has not been paid at a Diamond League final.
Is this everything Janay Deloach 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.
