Viktoriya Tkachuk prize money
Viktoriya Tkachuk has been paid $30,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 463rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 18 paid finishes in the women's 400 m hurdles, 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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 18 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $30,000 is 18 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. One of the 19 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Viktoriya Tkachuk won?
$30,000, which ranks 463rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 18 paid finishes between 2021 and 2023.
What is Viktoriya Tkachuk's biggest Diamond League payday?
$6,000, for finishing 2nd in the 400 m hurdles at the 2022 Birmingham Diamond League. 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 Viktoriya Tkachuk 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 400 m hurdles 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 Viktoriya Tkachuk ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
One time. 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. She is in the result table on this site either way.
Is this everything Viktoriya Tkachuk earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 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.
