    Making the weight as many times as needed is part of any weight controlled sport. Athletes that competed in the next weight category up may have been capable of cutting down for one day but not for the next. Awarding the medal would incentivise athletes that do not think they can medal in their usual weight category to go through unsustainable weight cuts in the hope they make the final.
