Fifth or sixth at four golds ?

edit

BBC had fifth, but https://www.marca.com/juegos-olimpicos/lucha/2021/08/02/610814a522601da8178b4592.html has sixth, adding Kaori Icho. Were BBC wrong ? -- Beardo (talk) 05:56, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Kaori Icho won the 63kg class three times and then the 58kg class, so that does not count as the "same" event. The weight classes have often changed in wrestling[1] (and weightlifting) so cross-time comparisons are not always clear, but there was a 63kg class in 2016 which Icho could in theory have entered instead. jnestorius(talk) 02:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
