Description

This is really saddening. While I don't this sporting prowess should automatically equally riches, the simply fact is that this is an inequality - other olympians can and do get plenty of sponsorship. Her achievement is no less remarkable, and yet it's pretty clear that the reason she doesn't get sponsorship is because her sport means she doesn't conform to a beauty standard. (Bet male weightlifters don't have the same problem.)
