A further 2.6% of the ocean saw a reduction of more than 328ft (100m), it said.

In its statement dated 16 May, Gengdan Institute reportedly said the videos of the incident circulating online had been "distorted" - and that the institution had the right to pursue legal action against those who "maliciously spread untrue videos".The statement also said that the staff had followed the proper procedure during the encounter, such as "initiating clinical work after getting the student's permission", and did not use tools or conduct a physical examination.

In the video, the staff member did not reply when the student asked for written proof of the school regulation to check students' menstrual status. She subsequently asked the student to go to a hospital instead.On social media, the incident has triggered an outpouring of anger and sarcasm towards the school's rules."My head hurts, should I open my skull and call it a day?" wrote one social media user.

"Let's just take the sanitary pad out and paste it on the sick note," another Weibo said.A staff member at Gengdan Institute told local outlet Dute News that the school may have created the rule about proving menstruation in order to deter students from faking periods to get sick notes.

But that argument has rung hollow among social media users.

"If they're worried about students using their periods as an excuse several times a month, why not simply make a record of it? It's not that complicated," one person wrote on Weibo.But Rozentals says the programme's funding is nowhere near enough.

"I don't know how much you need but it's certainly not £16,000," said Rozentals."When you have to cover rent, travel, food... and most athletes who train full-time are all living in London.

"They're very fortunate to have parent backing - I wasn't. I never had the ability to move to London because of financial struggles so I was always doing the travel from the East Midlands, where I live, to London, back-and-forth, back-and-forth."Rozentals, who won individual C1 silver at the World Under-23 Championships in 2023, is awaiting the outcome of the investigation.
