In a recent article released by nalathletics.com, Jamaica's Shericka Jackson tops the list of the highest earners in the Diamond League circuit for the year 2022.
Jackson and the other top earners had absolute domination in their events, where the other athletes were essentially competing for second.
According to the article, presumably many of the athletes at the top of the earnings table, particularly those in marquee events, made more money from appearance fees than from winning.
