Olha Zemlyak prize money
Olha Zemlyak has been paid $10,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1588th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 400 m, the best of them 4th.
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.

| Belgacom Memorial Van Damme 2014 | 400 m | 4th | $3,000 |
| Meeting Areva 2014 | 400 m | 5th | $2,500 |
| Golden Gala Pietro Mennea 2013 | 400 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| All ten | Women's 400 m | - | $10,000 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $10,000 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Six of the ten starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2014 is the biggest of them, $5,500 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Olha Zemlyak in 2016 and 2017, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $10,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Olha Zemlyak won?
$10,000, which ranks 1588th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2013 and 2017.
What is Olha Zemlyak's biggest Diamond League payday?
$3,000, for finishing 4th in the 400 m at the 2014 Belgacom Memorial Van Damme. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 4th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Olha Zemlyak 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 400 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 Zemlyak ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Six 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Olha Zemlyak 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.
