I think you have that backwards.

Chiang Rai provincial acting Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn said the healthiest boys were taken out first, with the first two emerging at 5:40 p.m. and 5:50 p.m. local time, or 6:40 a.m. ET. Two others were brought out about two hours later.

initial reports had it the other way around.

but since all are rescued, not so much a big deal.

Those initial reports... They also said six kids came out the first wave, and I posted that, but then had to backtrack to four. Oh well.

At first after hearing that the strongest kids were brought out first I was a little confused. After hearing that a doctor was in there with them, it became clear. My assumption is that he was making sure they were healthy enough to make the trip back. Even with the divers' help, it was still an ordeal.
