Dominica athletics prize money
Dominica has taken $130,500 out of athletics, 64th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Thea LaFond is the only athlete on it, on $130,500.
All of it belongs to one athlete by name. Dominica 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.
Every Dominica athlete athletics has paid
1 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thea LaFond | 29 | 1 | $130,500 |
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.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Dominica

| Cross Country | — | — | — | — | — |
| All six | 1 | 1 | $130,500 | — | $130,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Dominica on $81,500, 62.5% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Dominica. Dominica 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 1: one athlete has been paid by more than one of the six, and is counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Thea LaFond has been paid by three of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships and the World Indoor Championships.
