How unfair, because of overweight , Lithuanian Dilytė lost a chance to compete for bronze!!!

I might be confused by the bracket, but how does Vinesh being overweight today mean Dilyte lost her chance for bronze? She wasn't in the bronze medal match in the first place and the athlete she beat, the Ukrainian, is in the bronze medal match.

Absolutely in tears. 100grams the difference between a gold and no medal. She fought against the federation slept on streets beaten up by police to fight for women wrestlers being harassed sexually. This is what she got in return. Cruel world!

You cannot pretend yesterday didn't happen. When Vinesh defeated her opponents yesterday, she was not overweight. So, her path to final was legitimate. So, her defeating Cuban was legitimate. Hence, the wrestlers who lost to the Cuban and were removed yesterday, remain out. This way only the wrestler, who broke the rule is punished. If, repechage bracket was changed to those who lost to Cuban, it would penalise Japanese and Ukrainian wrestlers, who lost to the legitimate Semifinal winner.

This is seriously the most wtf thing of this Olympics. Never heard about any similar thing. This is just paifull. Feel for her. Can not even imagine how terrible it must be.

 

but, seriously, in other hand one must ask himself, how the fuck is it even possible ? this sound so amateurish mistake, I don´t understand, what happened did she ate a croissant at the bus before the weigh in or what the actual heck happened ?

Even we are wondering lol . Our Olympic Association thought it was a good decision to say "no comments at this time" to keep the people calm

By the looks of it, I would say that he did not have time to dispose of the liquids

Ah, yes, this may be true.

 

However, really unfortunate. Really feel bad for her and genuinely hope she will find a moral boost and recover from this and retun stronger in LA. I will be her greatest fan there

Almost all wrestlers are usually 2-3 kg over the limit. They dehydrate their body to remove as much water as possible to reduce their weight. After they pass the weigh-in, they try and regain the water and strength. 

 

This is an old article which tries to explain the lengths to which wrestlers go to make weight.

Guaranteed silver medal you mean, it’s not like she won gold already. 
 

Gutted for her though
