Peru athletics prize money
Peru has taken $13,500 out of athletics, 99th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Kimberly García is the biggest earner on $11,000, 81.5% of the national total.
All of it belongs to two athletes by name. Peru 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.
Every Peru athlete athletics has paid
2 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kimberly García | 1 | — | $11,000 |
| 2 | David Torrence | 1 | — | $2,500 |
Career totals across all six competitions, not a single season. PAID is how many finishing places were paid for, which is a different count from wins: a second place in a Diamond League final and a world title are both one payment. One of these athletes has a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
All two of them
Kimberly García holds 81.5% of everything Peru has won in athletics. The two biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $6,750 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Peru
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League | 1 | — | $2,500 | — | $2,500 |
| World Championships | 1 | — | $11,000 | — | $11,000 |
| Indoor Championships | — | — | — | — | — |

| World Relays | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cross Country | — | — | — | — | — |
| All six | 2 | 0 | $13,500 | — | $13,500 |
The World Championships is the biggest of the six for Peru on $11,000, 81.5% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Peru. Peru 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 2 because no Peru 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.
