India’s Olympic contingent are devastated after the female wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before her gold medal match for not making the weight despite cutting off her hair off.
she probably did. At that level, they want to be just as close to the restriction as possible while still being under. I can easily lose a kilo or two taking my morning piss.
She did. She was 2kg over the day before and went on an extreme dehydration and exercise protocol to try to drop down. She missed the cutoff but was so badly dehydrated that she needed IV fluids.
I’m afraid that the Olympics are one place you have to be strict. You can’t trust people to be honest or fair
I think the Olympics can trust their own scales. At least I would hope so.
I’m surprised she didn’t avoid food or water for a bit. Maybe they miscalculated what the final weight would be
She did. If you read the article they had to give her IV fluids after failing to qualify because she was dehydrated.
I’m wondering if she just cut her hair, or shaved her head completely.
Should have gone all-in and bled out 100ml.
She did too. Still wasn’t enough.
