It's pretty unjust if that's the entire reason why she was denied. When you have permanent injuries there are days that you feel more capable than others. That doesn't mean you're not injured, it means that you're feeling more capable that day and probably have a strong desire to be normal and fully functional again, so you'll push yourself. There's a high probability that your exuberance will lead to lots of pain later.

She won the ladies' event though. Plus

The court also saw a video of Grabska training her dog in a park for more than an hour in addition to the Christmas tree contest pictures.

Sounds like she could do everything except go to work...
