Liu Shiying prize money
Liu Shiying has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1219th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting de Paris 2023 | Javelin throw | 6th | $1,000 |
| Athletissima 2019 | Javelin throw | 4th | $3,000 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2019 | Javelin throw | 10th | — |
| All three | Women's javelin throw | — | $4,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 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. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $3,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Liu Shiying in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Liu Shiying won?
$4,000, which ranks 1219th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2019 and 2023.
What is Liu Shiying's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the javelin throw at the 2019 Athletissima. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Liu Shiying 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 javelin 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.
Has Liu Shiying ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Liu Shiying 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.
