Djibouti athletics prize money

Djibouti has taken $217,250 out of athletics, 66th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Ayanleh Souleiman is the biggest earner on $212,000, 97.6% of the national total.

All of it belongs to four athletes by name. Djibouti 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 Djibouti on $217,250, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid Djibouti anything. Djibouti 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 4 because no Djibouti 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.
