Austria athletics prize money

Austria has taken $79,250 out of athletics, 75th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Lukas Weißhaidinger is the biggest earner on $52,500, 66.2% of the national total.

All of it belongs to four athletes by name. Austria 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.

All six 4 0 $79,250 — $79,250

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Austria on $79,250, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Austria anything. Austria 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 4 because no Austria 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.
