The user in question (User:Sporti) found that the criteria for speedy deletion on Commons may offer a solution here:
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#F8> "The generally accepted rule is to delete the newer duplicate, but that may not always be the case, such as when comparing between a user uploaded file, and a bot uploaded file. Do you think that this exception could be reconstituted with the international competition rules? If not, eligibility in the national competition may be a good compromise; although, I see now that the pictures in question have already been deleted, and it will require some effort to have them restored.
