Lisa Ryzih prize money
Lisa Ryzih has been paid $6,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1006th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's pole vault, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2017 | Pole vault | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | Pole vault | 5th | $2,500 |
| All two | Women's pole vault | — | $6,500 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $6,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% 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 Lisa Ryzih won?
$6,500, which ranks 1006th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2017.
What is Lisa Ryzih's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 3rd in the pole vault at the 2017 Bislett Games. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 3rd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Lisa Ryzih 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 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.
Is this everything Lisa Ryzih 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.
