I don't understand all the support for Soh Rui Yang here. Yes, I acknowledged that he is damn good at what he is doing. But I would make the same decision as the gov to not select him for future competitons after several warnings/coaching. As a manager in company, I like to implement a "no asshole rule" - rather to have people working in harmony, & in respect of each other; instead of having an overachieving top performer that causes trouble for everyone else.

Most people are fundamentally good - travel the planet and it is easy to understand.
The problem is that many of our systems are susceptible to socio- and even psychopathic bad actors and this problem gets worse the more power is centralised.
You only have to look at some of vile people that typically rise to the top of big corporations - however these people are the minority in any company. What we need is systems that are resistant to such people. This is the experiment in governance that is now underway in the blockchain space.

At the risk of going into downvote hell by trying to give actual advice...
Over the last 20 years I've watched this happen repeatedly to women I've worked with. They know their shit and yet are undermined at every turn by nitwits who are just completely used to talking over other people and being the loudest voice in the room.
It wouldn't surprise me if the behavior you've called out has developed over years of being surrounded by other blowhards and having to do this to get a word in.
Smiling and nodding go a long way. The two things I would suggest:
The No Assholes Rule? I also like Harvard Business Review's research-based articles and they publish a ton of how-to articles for managers. Example: The Price of Incivility
This has all the earmarks of an application of certain business rules. I know of no rowing organizations that simply discriminate against women - or other people - because of who or what they are. However I know of many organizations and individuals who draw the line at individuals they simply don't get along with. https://www.amazon.com/Asshole-Rule-Civilized-Workplace-Surviving/dp/1600245854

>This person is known by all in the company as being someone to avoid at all costs.
Far be it from me to tell you how to manage your company, but I'm a fan of the no asshole rule myself.
That's not an accurate understanding of the book, but maybe you'd like this one more https://www.amazon.com/Asshole-Rule-Civilized-Workplace-Surviving/dp/1600245854 - my only disagreement with the book is the part that labels people assholes where their behavior is "assholeish."
That's an overgeneralization which the first book addresses. The concept of "status slaps" are described in the second book which calling someone an asshole is an example of. Better to say, "Your behavior is rude, belittling towards others, disrespectful of human dignity" etc. and avoid labeling the person since most people are also capable of kind behavior.
