Marie-Therese Obst prize money
Marie-Therese Obst has been paid $5,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2014th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, the best of them 5th.
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 2026 | Javelin throw | 7th | $1,500 |
| Diamond League Shanghai 2025 | Javelin throw | 6th | $2,000 |
| Kamila Skolimowska Memorial 2024 | Javelin throw | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bislett Games 2021 | Javelin throw | 8th | $500 |
| All four | Women's javelin throw | - | $5,250 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $5,250 is four 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.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. No Diamond League meeting paid Marie-Therese Obst in 2022 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $5,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Marie-Therese Obst won?
$5,250, which ranks 2014th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2021 and 2026.
What is Marie-Therese Obst's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the javelin throw at the 2025 Diamond League Shanghai. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Marie-Therese Obst 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.
Is this everything Marie-Therese Obst 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.
