Olha Lyakhova prize money
Olha Lyakhova has been paid $13,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 759th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from three paid finishes in the women's 800 m, the best of them 3rd.
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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bislett Games 2022 | 800 m | 9th | — |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 800 m | 4th | $6,000 |
| Meeting International Mohammed VI d'Athlétisme de Rabat 2019 | 800 m | 3rd | $4,000 |
| Meeting de Paris 2019 | 800 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2019 | 800 m | 11th | — |
| Müller Grand Prix Birmingham 2019 | 800 m | 9th | — |
| All six | Women's 800 m | — | $13,000 |
The three paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $13,000 is three separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Three of the six starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $13,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Olha Lyakhova in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $13,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Olha Lyakhova won?
$13,000, which ranks 759th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from three paid finishes between 2019 and 2022.
What is Olha Lyakhova's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 4th in the 800 m at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Olha Lyakhova 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 800 m 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.
Has Olha Lyakhova ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Three 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Olha Lyakhova earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
