    That’s the rules for the Olympics. It’s supposed to be a competition against amateur athletes. Therefore, it’s against the rules for her to receive any compensation from the government for her contributions.

      I don’t think they’re saying she should be paid for her work in the Olympics. I think they’re saying she is a very talented person who, even outside of this competition, cannot afford rent, which is sad.
