Kelsie Ahbe prize money
Kelsie Ahbe has been paid $4,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2155th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's pole vault, the best of them 4th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial Van Damme 2016 | Pole vault | 7th | $1,500 |
| Adidas Grand Prix 2015 | Pole vault | =4th | $2,750 |
| All two | Women's pole vault | - | $4,250 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,250 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
