Panama athletics prize money
Panama has taken $313,500 out of athletics, 59th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Alonso Edward is the biggest earner on $140,500, 44.8% of the national total.
All of it belongs to five athletes by name. Panama 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 Panama
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League | 5 | 12 | $302,500 | - | $302,500 |
| World Championships | 1 | - | $11,000 | - | $11,000 |

| Cross Country | - | - | - | - | - |
| All six | 5 | 12 | $313,500 | - | $313,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Panama on $302,500, 96.5% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Panama. Panama has won nothing at the World Indoor Championships, 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 5: 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. Gianna Woodruff has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Championships.
