Denmark athletics prize money
Denmark has taken $117,250 out of athletics, 77th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Sara Petersen is the biggest earner on $48,750, 41.6% of the national total.
All of it belongs to fourteen athletes by name. Denmark 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.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Denmark on $112,250, 95.7% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Denmark. Denmark has won nothing at the World Indoor Championships, the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 14 because no Denmark 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.
