What happens next year when there are no Olympics and she's needing some $$. Will America then be the greener grass and she comes back after using Greece to a compete at the Olympics? I 100% support her chasing her dreams even if it includes representing Greece, but that should mean giving up competing at USATF Champs and winning US only prize money.
Chances are she will be writing, acting, and film producing so it may be a mute point.
If she continues to pursue athletics I see no reason why she can't compete in USA championships after track season since she is a USA citizen and resident. I don't think her stated commitment to Greece is indefinite. We'll have to wait and see what her plans are.
