    Its actually hard to believe she didnt cheat because just the physical ability is clearly not there, maybe judges had sympathy for her but I’ve seen the person who lost to her in qualifying and they are just objectively better. It would be less embarassing for her if she did cheat really but the truth is probably that it was a reverse-agism

      This is the first time the sport is in the Olympics, not a lot of people to compete on locals, so if she knew how to navigate the burocracy she could easily got her spot without cheating.
