Uruguay athletics prize money
Uruguay has taken $50,500 out of athletics, 93rd of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Emiliano Lasa is the biggest earner on $24,500, 48.5% of the national total.
All of it belongs to three athletes by name. Uruguay 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 Uruguay athlete athletics has paid
3 of them, biggest first
| # | ATHLETE | PAID | WINS | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Emiliano Lasa | 13 | - | $24,500 |
| 2 | Julia Paternain | 1 | - | $22,000 |
| 3 | Valentín Soca | 1 | - | $4,000 |
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. One of these athletes has a page of their own here.

All three of them
Emiliano Lasa holds 48.5% of everything Uruguay has won in athletics. The three biggest hold 100% of it between them, and $16,833 is what the national total works out at per paid athlete.

| All six | 3 | 0 | $50,500 | - | $50,500 |
The Diamond League is the biggest of the six for Uruguay on $24,500, 48.5% of the national total. Three of the six have paid Uruguay. Uruguay has won nothing at the Ultimate Championship, the World Relays and the World Cross Country Championships.
The ATHLETES column adds up to 3 because no Uruguay 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.
