Tina Šutej prize money
Tina Šutej has been paid $123,250 by the Diamond League, which ranks 245th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 39 paid finishes in the women's pole vault, one of them a win.
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
The 39 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $123,250 is 39 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.1% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Tina Šutej stood in one Ultimate Championship final in Budapest and finished outside the money. World Athletics pays the first three in each event, $150,000, $75,000 and $40,000, and publishes no rate below third, so there is no figure to put against where she finished. The championship page holds all 28 events and what each one paid.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $30,750 from seven starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Tina Šutej in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $123,250.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Tina Šutej won?
$123,250, which ranks 245th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 39 paid finishes between 2014 and 2026.
What is Tina Šutej's biggest Diamond League payday?
$12,000, for finishing 2nd in the pole vault at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. 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 Tina Šutej 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 pole vault 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 Tina Šutej won?
One of 39, worth $10,000 between them. Five of her appearances came at a final, which paid $35,500.
How much did Tina Šutej win at the 2025 World Championships?
$22,000, 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.
How much has Tina Šutej won at the World Indoor Championships?
$40,000, from two paid finals across Toruń 2026 and Nanjing 2025. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Tina Šutej earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Championships and World Indoor 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.
