Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birmingham Diamond League 2022 | Pole vault | 6th | $1,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2022 | Pole vault | 7th | $750 |

| Doha Diamond League 2018 | Pole vault | =4th | $2,750 |
| All five | Women's pole vault | — | $8,000 |
The five paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,000 is five separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

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 place is worth the same in the women's pole vault as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon.
