Japanese luger DQ’d for being “overweight”
Not “overweight.” At 132 pounds, Yasuda is the ideal size for luging. It’s her equipment that weighs too much.
Because of a miscalculation, Yasuda brought too much ballast with her to weigh-ins for Tuesday’s competition. Lugers are allowed 13.1 kg of “additional weight.” Yasuda brought 13.3.
