Bottom two classes...
Women's wrestling 50 kg (110 lbs) 53 kg (117 lbs)
50.1kg is definitely in the next class. She flew too close to the sun min/maxing while all other competitors managed fine, making them better competitors.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It would have been better to shit to lose 100g than to cut the hair
At that stage of a weight in, you've not even drank water the past day, there is literally not another drip of shit or pee you can willing force out of yourself.
If that photo is after the haircut, there was room to lose more. :( Shave it all down! There's your 100g.
Didn't read the article, but are female wrestlers in the olympics only allowed to weigh 50kg? That seems absurdly light, even for women.
She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.
They put her in dehydration, diet, "trash bag" running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn't sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.
She failed.
She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.
Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.
Why wouldn’t you just click the article and skim it real quick?
Nice try Ricky Astleigh
Too many bad experiences with bad cookie banners
What is a bad cookie banner?! I’ve been a software engineer for 35 years and have never heard of such a thing!
The ones that don't let you 'reject all' without going through a thousand submenus
There's add ons that rejects them automatically.
Could you please point me in the right direction
