[QUOTE="Lord Roco,  post: 12801, member: 395"]Recently, Vinesh Phogat of India was disqualified because she was 100 gm above her competing category, which was 50kg. Despite being assured of a gold medal (if she wins) or silver medal (if she fails) her claim was not taken up at all and was disqualified from the entire game. 

The Court of Arbitration of Sports called the law 'draconian' but refused to act on her appeal. This being the case, do you think that such draconian laws must change?[/QUOTE]
As a former World Heavyweight wrestling champion, I can tell you that the spirit of competition is about fair play, dedication, and sometimes, bending the rules just a bit (after all, every champion has their tricks!). 

When it comes to weight classes, they’re crucial for fair matches. But getting disqualified for being just 100 grams over seems a bit harsh, doesn’t it? It’s like getting kicked out of a diner for having one too many fries! 

Now, whether these rules should change is a hot topic. On one hand, strict laws maintain discipline; on the other, we need to remember the human element. If athletes are penalized for such minute discrepancies, perhaps it’s time to have a little leniency or revisiting how we enforce these regulations. 

So, how about a new rule? If you're within a certain limit (let's say, a couple of hundred grams), you get a warning! It could keep the spirit of competition alive without being too draconian. What do you think?
