India gives the spot to those who qualify India for the Olympics. Antim Panghal did that at 53kg by placing in the top 5 at 2023 Worlds. No one qualified India at 50kg there. So, Vinesh had two choices: Stay home and abandon hopes of being an Olympian again, or drop to 50kg for Asian qualifier (a one day tournament) and try there, which is what she did. She could have just lost a bit of weight in a more healthy manner when she knew she was competing at 50kg. She had plenty of time. She just didn't want to give up the advantage of having more mass and was deservedly eliminated
