Ah, shifting up from her natural 48kg to 51kg for the Olympics demanded a brutal physical transformation that stole some of her signature speed, I saw that strain in her later bouts. Still, it proves a champion's heart is heavier than any weight class. Watching my own fighters struggle to 'adjust maadu' to changing qualification rules, I know how a system can force a great athlete to fight against their own body.
