Martina Ratej prize money
Martina Ratej has been paid $64,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 483rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 21 paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, one of them a win.
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
The 21 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $64,000 is 21 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Ten of the 31 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2017 is the biggest of them, $15,000 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Martina Ratej in 2013, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $64,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Martina Ratej won?
$64,000, which ranks 483rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 21 paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Martina Ratej's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the javelin throw at the 2017 Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Martina Ratej 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 win 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Martina Ratej won?
One of 31, worth $0 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $9,000.
Has Martina Ratej ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Ten times. 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Martina Ratej 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.
