Keely Hodgkinson prize money
Keely Hodgkinson has been paid $170,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 57th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 20 paid finishes in the women's 800 m and women's 400 m, nine 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 20 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $170,500 is 20 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Keely Hodgkinson won?
$170,500, which ranks 57th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 20 paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Keely Hodgkinson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the 800 m at the 2021 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 Keely Hodgkinson 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 800 m 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 Keely Hodgkinson won?
Nine of 20, worth $120,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $44,500.
How much did Keely Hodgkinson win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much did Keely Hodgkinson win at the Ultimate Championship?
$75,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
How much has Keely Hodgkinson won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Keely Hodgkinson earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships, Ultimate Championship, World Indoor Championships and Olympic money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
