Nikola Ogrodníková prize money
Nikola Ogrodníková has been paid $59,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 515th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from sixteen 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 sixteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $59,250 is sixteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
The Olympic Games
What Nikola Ogrodníková won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's javelin throw | Bronze | - |
The bronze in the women's javelin throw paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2018 is the biggest of them, $25,000 from four starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Nikola Ogrodníková in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2025, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $59,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nikola Ogrodníková won?
$59,250, which ranks 515th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from sixteen paid finishes between 2014 and 2026.
What is Nikola Ogrodníková's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 3rd in the javelin throw at the 2019 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 Nikola Ogrodníková 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 Nikola Ogrodníková won?
One of sixteen, worth $10,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $22,000.
Is this everything Nikola Ogrodníková 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.
