…so Imane must have gone up a weight since the last Olympics, then… good luck to Katie for later, she’s an excellent athlete from the bit I saw of her fight…

…for me, it’s all about whether there was an ‘advantaged athlete’ in the event and competing because that would be equivalent surely to someone having taken performance enhanced drugs and it being allowed…?…and I’m honestly not qualified enough to say whether Imane could be classified as an advantaged athlete…I do understand though that another competitor can’t be seriously harmed while that’s uncertain…so it really is a mess of a thing for all ladies and the competition in general…
