The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Sweden on $1,310,458, 69% of the national total. Four of the six have paid Sweden. Sweden 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 47: eleven 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. Armand Duplantis has been paid by four of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships and the Ultimate Championship.
