Yelena Sokolova prize money
Yelena Sokolova has been paid $72,000 by the Diamond League, which ranks 440th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from fourteen paid finishes in the women's long jump, four of them wins.
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 fourteen paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $72,000 is fourteen separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.06% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them.

season running total
2012 is the biggest of them, $46,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Yelena Sokolova in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $72,000.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Yelena Sokolova won?
$72,000, which ranks 440th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from fourteen paid finishes between 2010 and 2019.
What is Yelena Sokolova's biggest Diamond League payday?
$10,000, for finishing 1st in the long jump at the 2012 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Yelena Sokolova 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 long jump 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 Yelena Sokolova won?
Four of fourteen, worth $40,000 between them. One of her appearance came at a final, which paid $4,000.
Is this everything Yelena Sokolova 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.
