Romania has taken $135,500 out of athletics, 75th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Nicoleta Grasu is the biggest earner on $29,500, 21.8% of the national total.

The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Romania on $125,500, 92.6% of the national total. Two of the six have paid Romania. Romania has won nothing at the World 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 21: two athletes have been paid by more than one of the six, and are counted in every row that paid them and once in the national total. Alina Rotaru-Kottmann has been paid by two of them: the Diamond League and the World Indoor Championships.
