Azerbaijan athletics prize money

Azerbaijan has taken $157,000 out of athletics, 72nd of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Alexis Copello is the biggest earner on $149,500, 95.2% of the national total.

All of it belongs to two athletes by name. Azerbaijan 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 2 2 $157,000 - $157,000

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Azerbaijan on $157,000, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Azerbaijan anything. Azerbaijan 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 2 because no Azerbaijan 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.
