Linda Olivieri prize money
Linda Olivieri has been paid $2,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1410th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, the best of them 6th.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2025 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $1,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2022 | 400 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2021 | 400 m hurdles | 6th | $1,000 |
| All three | Women's 400 m hurdles | — | $2,500 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $2,500 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $1,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Linda Olivieri in 2023 and 2024, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $2,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Linda Olivieri won?
$2,500, which ranks 1410th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is Linda Olivieri's biggest Diamond League payday?
$1,000, for finishing 8th in the 400 m hurdles at the 2025 Golden Gala Pietro Mennea. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 8th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Linda Olivieri 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 400 m hurdles 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 Linda Olivieri 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.
