The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for the United States on $24,258,625, 82.4% of the national total. All six have paid the United States, which only five of the 130 countries can say.
The ATHLETES column counts the people each competition paid, so it does not add up to 659: 80 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. Kenny Bednarek has been paid by three of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships and the Ultimate Championship.
