Israel athletics prize money
Israel has taken $102,500 out of athletics, 78th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Hanna Knyazyeva-Minenko is the biggest earner on $53,750, 52.4% of the national total.
All of it belongs to seven athletes by name. Israel 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.

Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Israel
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |

| Cross Country | - | - | - | - | - |
| All six | 7 | 1 | $102,500 | - | $102,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Israel on $80,500, 78.5% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Israel. Israel 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 7 because no Israel 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.
