Croatia athletics prize money
Croatia has taken $1,065,583 out of athletics, 29th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Sandra Elkasević is the biggest earner on $703,750, 66% of the national total.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Croatia on $1,048,583, 98.4% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Croatia. Croatia has won nothing at the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 12: two athletes have been paid by more than one of the six, and are counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Sandra Elkasević has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
