Twanisha Terry prize money
Twanisha Terry has been paid $26,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 504th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the women's 100 m and women's 200 m, the best of them 4th.
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 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $26,750 is 18 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.
The World Championships
What Twanisha Terry did in Tokyo, 2025
Twanisha Terry went to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo on a relay and ran no individual final there. She ran on the United States team that won the women's 4 × 100 metres relay, $80,000 to the federation rather than to any one of the four. The championships page holds all 49 events and the $8,498,000 they paid out.
The World Athletics Relays
What Twanisha Terry ran on
| EVENT | PLACE | MARK | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | 4th | 42.38 | $8,000 |
The World Relays have paid $8,000 for the one team Twanisha Terry ran on in Guangzhou 2025, and all of it went to the United States rather than to the four who ran. The $26,750 at the top of this page is what the Diamond League paid her. This is what World Athletics paid a country, and the two are not added together anywhere on the site. No team she ran on won its final, and the ladder paid the teams anyway: it reaches all eight teams in a final, $40,000 for a title down to $2,000 for 8th, so reaching one is the run that pays. She ran alongside Mikiah Brisco, Caisja Chandler and Kayla White, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The World Relays page holds all 12 finals across two championships and the $1,067,000 they paid out.
The Olympic Games
What Twanisha Terry won in Paris
| EVENT | MEDAL | EARNED |
|---|---|---|
| Women's 4 × 100 metres relay | Gold | — |
The women's 4 × 100 metres relay gold was worth $50,000 and was paid to the federation as a single cheque, with nothing published about how it was split between the runners. It is not hers and is not added to the $26,750 at the top of this page. The Olympic page holds all 48 golds, the $2,400,000 they paid and what the circuit pays the same champions.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Twanisha Terry won?
$26,750, which ranks 504th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2022 and 2025.
What is Twanisha Terry's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 4th in the 200 m 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 Twanisha Terry 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 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.
What did Twanisha Terry's World Relays teams win?
$8,000, across one paid final in Guangzhou 2025. The relays pay a team rather than a runner, so the cheque goes to the federation and not to Twanisha Terry or to any one of the four. A title pays $40,000 and the ladder reaches all eight teams in a final, down to $2,000 for 8th.
Is this everything Twanisha Terry earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Relays 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.
Where to next
The rest of the Diamond League money
Diamond League prize money ranks all 2,112 athletes across the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out.

The biggest of the rest are women's 100 m hurdles, women's 800 m and women's 400 m. Every meeting she has raced is linked in the table at the top of this page, and Diamond League Shanghai has its own page across every edition of it. Away from the series, World Championships prize money is Tokyo 2025, $8,498,000 paid eight places deep in every event, and the full final is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page. World Relays prize money is the Guangzhou 2025 and Gaborone 2026 championships, $1,087,000 put up across 12 finals that pay a team and never a runner, and the relay is on the women's 4 × 100 metres relay page.
