Sage Hurta prize money
Sage Hurta has been paid $26,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 520th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from eleven paid finishes in the women's 800 m, the best of them 2nd.
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.

The eleven paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,000 is eleven separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.05% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sage Hurta won?
$26,000, which ranks 520th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from eleven paid finishes between 2022 and 2024.
What is Sage Hurta's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the 800 m at the 2022 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Sage Hurta 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.
Is this everything Sage Hurta 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.
