Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Sofie Skoog won?
$36,633, which ranks 792nd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from twelve paid finishes between 2016 and 2019.
What is Sofie Skoog's biggest Diamond League payday?
$5,000, for finishing =2nd in the high jump at the 2016 Weltklasse Zürich. 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 Sofie Skoog 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 high jump 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 Sofie Skoog 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.
