Jo-Ané van Dyk prize money
Jo-Ané van Dyk has been paid $10,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 832nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, the best of them 2nd.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | Javelin throw | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2024 | Javelin throw | 2nd | $6,000 |
| All two | Women's javelin throw | — | $10,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's javelin throw | Silver | — |
The silver in the women's javelin throw 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Jo-Ané van Dyk won?
$10,000, which ranks 832nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2024 and 2025.
What is Jo-Ané van Dyk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the javelin throw at the 2024 Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Jo-Ané van Dyk 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 javelin 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 Jo-Ané van Dyk 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.
