I don't think that weighing a bunch of teenage cyclists in front of each other, posting the list of weights publicly, and commenting on weight of specific athletes is helpful for anybody, really, but I know that they needed to get that information. I think I'd suggest that they weigh each of us individually, don't post the list of weights, don't comment about weight, and/or provide individuals the option to opt-out of weighing in. I might just be over-sensitive to this issue though. What do you all think?
Just curious, how old are you?

Maybe someone else here who has gone to these training race camps, if the practice of weigh-in for female riders is common?

Is this a regular practice for men who race and train?

Is the weigh-in just for assigning partially racing category? (I know there is a racing competency pre-qualification.)
