Has there been a precedent where contestant reached finals and got disqualified for weight concerns and got their medal also taken away? Only when a contestant reaches the finale medal issue comes into picture as they have defeated everyone to reach the finals.
In Vinesh's case she has reached Finals so medal does come into picture. How can her semifinal opponent get to play the finale when she has lost fair and square.
Disqualification is understood as a rule but taking away medal upon reaching finals is stretching a bit. In such scenarios they should revisit the rule for medal criteria atleast because it is unfair to the contestants who fought hard to reach the finals defeating everyone on the way. It is like all that hard work, efforts of everyone involved was thrown into waste.

A disqualified person can't be eligible for a medal. This is the rule written in black and white.
To be within the weight category y for both the tests that is final requirement.
Yes they could visit the rules but that can only happen after the Olympics.as of now this was the rule known by all..
