Maybe she had to hydrate a lot after her tough bouts. Only possible explanation

[Sandz]

Imagine how the Japanese wrestler would be feeling.

We have zero clout with the IOC. Just like broadcasting rights with BCCI what factors contribute to giving a country some clout with the IOC.

[Gollum]

Water weight.

[saransh]

Guys don't expect any medal from wrestlers this time. This is a body blow to our campaign, this will not only demoralize Vinesh but the entire contingent. Just let's pray and hope that Neeraj wins gold tomorrow and hockey team wins bronze and we end this disaster of an Olympics at 5 medals

If her weight was fine before SF then she shouldn't be disqualified from silver.

Yes , it makes no sense to disqualify her from silver.

How can she be allowed to exceed category weight by 2 freaking kilos in the first place??

WTF 2kg is it true News channels showing some 100 grams

[Number]

Any rules or protocols when is the weight taken ? Is it not before beginning of the first match ?

Maybe you have to be in weight class on both days to be eligible for silver. They may have thought of such loopholes beforehand. Weight cutting is as ancient as the sport in Olympics.

She gained 2 kg weight by end of day yesterday. 

 

Jogged, skipped, sauna whole night but after all that still 100g overweight.

[Sandz]

But how can they disqualify her previous fights? She wasn’t overweight then? This doesn’t make sense.

2 kg a night before...she had to be 50.1 by morning. Entire night she didn't sleep, kept doing stuff to lose 2 kg.
