Liliana Cá prize money
Liliana Cá has been paid $26,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 966th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen paid finishes in the women's discus throw, the best of them 3rd.
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.

The sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,500 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2022 is the biggest of them, $11,750 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Liliana Cá in 2025, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $26,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Liliana Cá won?
$26,500, which ranks 966th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Liliana Cá's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the discus throw at the 2022 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 Liliana Cá 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 discus 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 Liliana Cá 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.
