Sarah Lavin prize money
Sarah Lavin has been paid $8,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 900th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 100 m hurdles, 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.

Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doha Diamond League 2024 | 100 m hurdles | 5th | $1,250 |
| Bauhausgalan 2023 | 100 m hurdles | 2nd | $6,000 |

| Doha Diamond League 2023 | 100 m hurdles | 8th | $500 |
| All four | Women's 100 m hurdles | — | $8,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $8,500 is four 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sarah Lavin won?
$8,500, which ranks 900th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2023 and 2024.
What is Sarah Lavin's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 100 m hurdles at the 2023 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 2nd and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Sarah Lavin 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 100 m hurdles 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 Sarah Lavin 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.
