Sandra Elkasević prize money
Sandra Elkasević has been paid $53,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 294th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from twelve paid finishes in the women's discus throw, two of them wins.
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 twelve paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $53,250 is twelve separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.10% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|

The 2025 World Championships paid Sandra Elkasević $11,000 for one finish in Tokyo, against $53,250 from twelve Diamond League starts between 2017 and 2025. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Sandra Elkasević won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's discus throw | Bronze | — |
The bronze in the women's discus throw paid nothing. Only a gold pays, so 97 of the 145 medals awarded on the athletics programme in Paris carried no money at all. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $18,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Sandra Elkasević in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $53,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sandra Elkasević won?
$53,250, which ranks 294th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2017 and 2025.
What is Sandra Elkasević's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the discus throw at the 2018 Doha Diamond League. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sandra Elkasević 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 win is worth the same in the women's discus throw 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.
How many Diamond League meetings has Sandra Elkasević won?
Two of twelve, worth $20,000 between them. Two of her appearances came at a final, which paid $8,000.
How much did Sandra Elkasević win at the 2025 World Championships?
$11,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Sandra Elkasević earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds 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.
