Victoria Hudson prize money
Victoria Hudson has been paid $19,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1153rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from ten paid finishes in the women's javelin throw, 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.

The ten paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $19,750 is ten separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.02% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Two of the twelve starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2023 is the biggest of them, $9,250 from three starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Victoria Hudson in 2022, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $19,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Victoria Hudson won?
$19,750, which ranks 1153rd of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from ten paid finishes between 2021 and 2025.
What is Victoria Hudson's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the javelin throw at the 2023 Memorial Van Damme. 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 Victoria Hudson 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 javelin throw 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.
Has Victoria Hudson ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Two times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Victoria Hudson 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.
