South Sudan athletics prize money
South Sudan has taken $3,000 out of athletics, 110th of the 121 countries the sport has paid. Dawoud Jok is the biggest earner on $2,000, 66.7% of the national total.
All of it belongs to two athletes by name. South Sudan 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 South Sudan athlete athletics has paid
2 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dawoud Jok | 1 | — | $2,000 |
| 2 | Bakhita John Moresio | 1 | — | $1,000 |
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. Two of these athletes have a page of their own here.
The biggest earners
All two of them
Dawoud Jok holds 66.7% of everything South Sudan has won in athletics. The two biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $1,500 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.
Where the money comes from
All six competitions, and what each has sent South Sudan
| COMPETITION | ATHLETES | WINS | TO ATHLETES | TO FEDERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond League | 2 | — | $3,000 | — | $3,000 |
| World Championships | — | — | — | — | — |
| Indoor Championships | — | — | — | — | — |
| Ultimate Championship | — | — | — | — | — |
| World Relays | — | — | — | — | — |
| Cross Country | — | — | — | — | — |
| All six | 2 | 0 | $3,000 | — | $3,000 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for South Sudan on $3,000, 100% of the national total. It is also the only one of the six that has ever paid South Sudan anything. South Sudan has won nothing at the World Championships, 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 South Sudan 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.
