Benin athletics prize money

Benin has taken $9,750 out of athletics, 106th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Noélie Yarigo is the only athlete on it, on $9,750.

All of it belongs to one athlete by name. Benin 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.

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. One of these athletes has a page of their own here.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Benin on $9,750, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Benin anything. Benin 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 1 because no Benin 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.
