Oh, and will PaulB change his mind now we know that Paula was running with an injury in New York and wasn't in the tip-top shape she would have been had she been specially preparing and avoiding the non-paying events.
And here's some facts. The working life of a top class athlete is very short. Even if she was trying to earn as much money as she could in the short time she's got at this level, who could blame her? Athletes often don't have a lot to look forward to after they retire. But on the other hand, she'd pull in even more in sponsorship deals etc. if she won the Olympics, so that could be portrayed as being 'all about money' if she had won the gold.
I think the truth is that she gets on some people's wick. And that's all this is about.
