Women's 100 m hurdles prize money
The Diamond League has paid $3,915,000 in the women's 100 m hurdles, to 122 athletes across 115 runnings of it, from 2010 to 2026. Tobi Amusan has taken more of it than anyone, $252,250.
The series pays by finishing place and by nothing else, so a win here is worth what a win in any other discipline is worth: $10,000 at a 2026 series meeting, eight places paid, and nothing for ninth. Nine of the 115 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $60,000 for the win at the 2026 final. Twelve of the 115 runnings were Diamond+, which pays double.

Who won it, what the win paid and what the field took
What the women's 100 m hurdles paid each season
season running total
The line is the running total. A season's figure is the rate multiplied by how many meetings put the discipline on, so the columns move with the programme rather than with who turned up: 2026 ran it nine times and 2021 six times. Nobody has ever shared the win in it, so every figure in the win column is one athlete's cheque.

One column per ladder, and none of them is specific to this discipline: the women's 100 m hurdles is paid on the same card as the 100 m and the shot put at the same meeting. There is no appearance money in any of it, nothing for a record, and nothing at all for ninth place. The Diamond+ columns are the twelve of 115 runnings where the series doubled the discipline's rate for the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much prize money does the Diamond League pay in the women's 100 m hurdles?
$3,915,000 across 115 runnings of it, to 122 athletes from 30 countries. That is 3.5% of everything the series has paid, and the 3rd biggest of the 41 disciplines on this site.
What does a win in the women's 100 m hurdles pay?
$10,000, and double that at a meeting where it is a Diamond+ discipline. It is the same figure in every discipline on a programme, so a win here pays exactly what a win in the 100 m pays. Nine of the 115 runnings were at the series final, which pays on its own ladder: $60,000 for the win at the 2026 final.
Who has earned the most in the women's 100 m hurdles?
Tobi Amusan, on $252,250 from 32 paid finishes, seven of them wins. 83 of the 122 athletes the discipline has paid were paid in it more than once.
Who has won the most Diamond League women's 100 m hurdles titles?
Dawn Harper-Nelson, on fifteen wins. 26 different athletes have won a Diamond League women's 100 m hurdles across the 115 runnings on this site.
How often does the Diamond League run the women's 100 m hurdles?
115 times across sixteen seasons, from 2010 to 2026, on the programmes of 19 different meetings. Doha Diamond League has run it eleven times, more than anywhere else. The series rotates its programme, so no discipline is on every card.
How far down the field does the women's 100 m hurdles pay?
Eight places, and ninth pays nothing however good the mark was. 894 payments have gone to 122 athletes in this discipline, and 20 other finishes in the same result tables were worth nothing at all.
