Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou prize money
Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou has been paid $133,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 221st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 30 paid finishes in the women's pole vault, five 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 30 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $133,250 is 30 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 31 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou won?
$133,250, which ranks 221st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 30 paid finishes between 2010 and 2022.
What is Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the pole vault at the 2015 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou 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 pole vault 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 Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou won?
Five of 31, worth $50,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
Has Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou 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. That start is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou 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.
