Úrsula Ruiz prize money
Úrsula Ruiz has been paid $3,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 2458th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the women's shot put, the best of them 6th.
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
| MEETING | DISCIPLINE | PLACE | PAID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meeting Areva 2013 | Shot put | 6th | $2,000 |
| DN Galan 2012 | Shot put | 8th | $1,000 |
| All two | Women's shot put | - | $3,000 |
The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $3,000 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.00% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.
Season by season

2013 is the biggest of them, $2,000 from one start. Every season from 2012 to 2013 paid her something. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $3,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Úrsula Ruiz won?
$3,000, which ranks 2458th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes between 2012 and 2013.
What is Úrsula Ruiz's biggest Diamond League payday?
$2,000, for finishing 6th in the shot put at the 2013 Meeting Areva. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 6th and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Úrsula Ruiz 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 shot put 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 Úrsula Ruiz 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.
