Lithuania athletics prize money

Lithuania has taken $547,250 out of athletics, 46th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Mykolas Alekna is the biggest earner on $180,500, 33% of the national total.

All of it belongs to thirteen athletes by name. Lithuania 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.
