Kazakhstan athletics prize money

Kazakhstan has taken $206,500 out of athletics, 55th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Norah Jeruto is the biggest earner on $125,250, 60.7% of the national total.

All of it belongs to six athletes by name. Kazakhstan 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.

Norah Jeruto has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
