Ahead of her Olympics debut, track and field athlete Veronica Fraley had a more pressing concern on her mind than the Games: Paying her rent on time. Fraley, 24, lamented her situation on social media Thursday as she prepared for her women's discus throw qualification round in Paris. 'I compete in the Olympic Games TOMORROW and can’t even pay my rent' the athlete, who is the 2024 NCAA discus champion, wrote in an X post.
They did not disclose how much was sent. Flav said through the representative that he is 'happy to help out those who are representing the best of us. This is exactly why I’m in Paris and the awareness I been trying to bring to these athletes needs.' Fraley's post has generated an outpouring of sympathy from internet users who expressed shock that an Olympian wasn’t earning enough to make ends meet.
