Senegal athletics prize money
Senegal has taken $232,000 out of athletics, 64th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Saly Sarr is the biggest earner on $224,000, 96.6% of the national total.
All of it belongs to three athletes by name. Senegal 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.

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. Three of these athletes have a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
All three of them
Saly Sarr holds 96.6% of everything Senegal has won in athletics. The three biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $77,333 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent Senegal
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League | 3 | 2 | $65,000 | - | $65,000 |
| World Championships | 1 | - | $7,000 | - | $7,000 |
| Indoor Championships | 1 | - | $10,000 | - | $10,000 |
| Ultimate Championship | 1 | 1 | $150,000 | - | $150,000 |
| World Relays | - | - | - | - | - |
| Cross Country | - | - | - | - | - |
| All six | 3 | 3 | $232,000 | - | $232,000 |
The Ultimate Championship is the biggest of the six for Senegal on $150,000, 64.7% of the national total. Four of the six have paid Senegal. Senegal has won nothing at 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 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. Saly Sarr has been paid by four of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships and the Ultimate Championship.
