Luxembourg athletics prize money

Luxembourg has taken $89,250 out of athletics, 73rd of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Patrizia Van der Weken is the biggest earner on $54,250, 60.8% of the national total.

All of it belongs to three athletes by name. Luxembourg 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 ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 3: 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. Patrizia Van der Weken has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Indoor Championships.
