[edit] Amateur definitions

The definition for the gymnastic competitions was:

An amateur is one:

• who has never, for pecuniary gain, taken part in a public competition or display;
• who has never taken part in a competition for money prizes;
• who, in all other respects, is an amateur according to the rules of his own country.

Gymnastic teachers and leaders, even though they receive payment as such, are regarded as amateurs.
