Nicola Olyslagers prize money
Nicola Olyslagers has been paid $244,917 by the Diamond League, which ranks 74th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 35 paid finishes in the women's high jump, ten of them wins.
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 35 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $244,917 is 35 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

The Olympic Games
What Nicola Olyslagers won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nicola Olyslagers won?
$244,917, which ranks 74th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 35 paid finishes between 2019 and 2026.
What is Nicola Olyslagers's biggest Diamond League payday?
$30,000, for finishing 1st in the high jump at the 2025 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Nicola Olyslagers 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 high jump 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 Nicola Olyslagers won?
Ten of 35, worth $126,667 between them. Seven of her appearances came at a final, which paid $78,000.
How much did Nicola Olyslagers win at the 2025 World Championships?
$70,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much did Nicola Olyslagers win at the Ultimate Championship?
$75,000, from one paid final at the 2026 championship in Budapest. World Athletics pays $150,000 for a win there, $75,000 for second and $40,000 for third, the same in all 26 individual events.
How much has Nicola Olyslagers won at the World Indoor Championships?
$52,667, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Nicola Olyslagers earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships, Ultimate Championship and World Indoor Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
