i came back rereading this because of the olympic cuz there's this athlete who had to cut down their weights and got disqualified bcs they weight more than the standard.

and somehow it reminded me of jaekyung doing all the cutting before the match... idk anything about sport but i appreciate the author for doing research about it.

    Yes I thought about Jinx as well when I read about the news this morning!! I was so sad for her, especially since 100g really is nothing (and as shown in this story, the athletes spend the next hours eating and drinking to gain back as much as safely possible before the match)

    I don't know if you've seen one of the author's notes but she actually tried MMA herself (I don't know if it was for research or if trying it gave her the idea of this story though) and she injured herself right now that was both funny and sad
