Burkina Faso athletics prize money

Burkina Faso has taken $174,250 out of athletics, 59th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Hugues Fabrice Zango is the biggest earner on $151,250, 86.8% of the national total.

All of it belongs to two athletes by name. Burkina Faso 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.
