Gold having 1 more is weird because you would expect no silver if two have gold and therefore a difference of 2.

Vinesh Phogat was disqualified for being overweight during the weigh-in of the 50kg women's wrestling final. Her opponent got gold, and both losing semifinalists got bronze.

It became a big controversy in India because she had been <50kg for every match until then, and she had previously protested against the wrestling federation - which chose her dietician and other staff - for covering up sexual assault cases.
