Renée Eykens prize money
Renée Eykens has been paid $4,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2225th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's 800 m, the best of them 6th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bauhausgalan 2019 | 800 m | 6th | $2,000 |
| AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 | 800 m | 8th | $2,000 |
| Bislett Games 2017 | 800 m | 11th | - |
| All three | Women's 800 m | - | $4,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $4,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the three starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.
Season by season
2017 to 2019, in the order it was won
season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $4,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Renée Eykens in 2017 and 2018, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $4,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Renée Eykens won?
$4,000, which ranks 2225th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2017 and 2019.
What is Renée Eykens's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the 800 m at the 2019 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Renée Eykens 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 Renée Eykens 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 Renée Eykens 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.
