Argentina athletics prize money
Argentina has taken $26,500 out of athletics, 107th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Germán Luján Lauro is the biggest earner on $18,000, 67.9% of the national total.
All of it belongs to three athletes by name. Argentina 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.
Every Argentina athlete athletics has paid
3 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |

| 2 | Germán Chiaraviglio | 2 | - | $6,000 |
| 3 | Rocío Barbara Comba | 1 | - | $2,500 |
Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. Three of these athletes have a page of their own here.

All three of them
Germán Luján Lauro holds 67.9% of everything Argentina has won in athletics. The three biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $8,833 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.

| All six | 3 | 0 | $26,500 | - | $26,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Argentina on $26,500, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Argentina anything. Argentina has won nothing at the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 3 because no Argentina athlete has been paid by more than one of the six. Where one has, the same person is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total.
