Long story short.
Brackets are by sex (male / female), age, and weight.
Sophia's dad thought she was in the correct weight class and did not update her weight. Sophia is growing quickly.
Understandably, Sophia did not meet her weight at time of weigh-in Saturday morning, December 6, 2025.
When that happens the venue coordinators look to see if there is a bracket that is not filled.
There was no bracket available for Sophia's age. To wrestle, she would have to be placed in a bracket with women, her weight, but one to two years older. She accepted that.
She lost her first match, ref's decision, 0 - 0.
She then won the next two matches, taking home a bronze medal.
I believe this is her fifth jiu-jitsu medal.
