Yuliya Levchenko prize money
Yuliya Levchenko has been paid $102,375 by the Diamond League, which ranks 136th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from 29 paid finishes in the women's high jump, one of them a win.
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 29 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $102,375 is 29 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.2% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Seven of the 36 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2019 is the biggest of them, $34,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Yuliya Levchenko in 2020, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $102,375.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Yuliya Levchenko won?
$102,375, which ranks 136th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from 29 paid finishes between 2018 and 2026.
What is Yuliya Levchenko's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ high jump at the 2026 Xiamen 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 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Yuliya Levchenko 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 high 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 Yuliya Levchenko won?
One of 36, worth $20,000 between them. Four of her appearances came at a final, which paid $28,500.
Has Yuliya Levchenko ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Seven 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. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
How much did Yuliya Levchenko win at the 2025 World Championships?
$9,000, from one paid final in Tokyo. The championships pay eight places in every event, $70,000 for a title down to $5,000 for 8th.
How much has Yuliya Levchenko won at the World Indoor Championships?
$12,667, from one paid final in Toruń 2026. An indoor title pays $40,000 and the ladder runs six places deep, down to $4,000 for 6th, the same in every event on the programme and the same for a relay team.
Is this everything Yuliya Levchenko earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. The World Championships and World Indoor Championships 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.
