In reference to the bio for Nellie Kim, currect FIG WTC President''' The below sentence is not entirely correct:

In her 2005 interview Nellie Kim said that unlike her predecessor in the post of the President of the WAG TC, Jackie K. Fie, she does not receive any salary from the federation of the country, represented by her in the FIG. And therefore she works for the FIG on the basis of pure enthusiasm.[9]

Note: Her predecessor, President of the FIG WTC, Jackie K. Fie, was an independent contractor, who received an honorarium from USA Gymnastics, who must according to FIG Statutes be responsible for her expenses. She did not receive a salary from any company, federation, club, individual, etc, nor did she receive any benefits whatsoever. She gave up teaching and coaching after she was elected as President of the FIG WTC, in order to devote full time to her passion/devotion for the development of world gymnastics.

It is common knowledge that Ms. Nellie Kim earns a living through her position, by receiving an honorarium and/or stipend for her work and representation throughout the world, as well as in the past few years, financial assistance from the FIG. Respectfully submitted, Jackie K. Fie (FIG WTC 1976 through 2004)
