Algeria athletics prize money

Algeria has taken $473,500 out of athletics, 35th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Djamel Sedjati is the biggest earner on $315,500, 66.6% of the national total.

All of it belongs to five athletes by name. Algeria has never been paid a relay purse, a World Relays ladder place or a cross country team standing, which are the three things that pay a federation rather than a person.
