Katerina Stefanidi prize money
Katerina Stefanidi has been paid $142,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 82nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the women's pole vault, four 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 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $142,500 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.3% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the 27 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Katerina Stefanidi won?
$142,500, which ranks 82nd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2017 and 2024.
What is Katerina Stefanidi's biggest Diamond League payday?
$50,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Katerina Stefanidi 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 pole vault 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 Katerina Stefanidi won?
Four of 27, worth $80,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $64,000.
Has Katerina Stefanidi ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three times. 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Katerina Stefanidi 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.
