    It’s not like the weigh-in was something they didn’t know about and caught them by surprise!

    Wow. One supposes the next step might have been cutting off body parts.

    I agree. She looked like perfection crossing the finish line. So Strong and powerful

    She most likely cut weight before the previous match, made weight. put a few kG back on after the match from hydrating and eating, and then couldn't cut weight quickly enough again.

    To expound on this, apparently she usually wrestles in the next weight class up, but India has a stronger qaulifier there, so she dropped down a weight class for the Olympics. Thus the extra weight cutting issues

    Yep. He looked like he was going to collapse with about 60 meters left. Found something deep to come back and win.
    Meanwhile, a Lithuanian broke his father's 20-year-old Olympic record in the discus. But a Jamaican broke it 10 minutes later to win the gold.
    The Jamaican's name is Stona. :cool:

    Serbia has the Men's Basketball team on the ropes so far. Need to get it together for the second half.
