In defeat, Italy’s Angela Carini sobbed and went to the centre of the ring to cry where she had not shaken hands with Khelif upon winning and progressing to round quarter-finals.
The rounds in boxing run for three minutes each as well as three punches only from both Karimi before being knocked out by an Algeria who punched twice in forty-six seconds so powerfully that she could not stand any longer having been hit hardest on her nose causing it bleed profusely.
“When I also told you to stop because there was strong pain in my nostrils, it is better not going ahead. After the first strike, my nose began to leech (with blood),” remembered Carini brokenly.
“I think that males with genetic male attributes should not be allowed to compete in women’s events. And that is to protect the right of female athletes to compete on equal terms and not to discriminate against anyone,” The Italian Prime Minister stated.
“It made me cry yesterday when she wrote ‘I Will Fight’ because such things are definitely influenced by determination, intelligence and character. However, another important thing is the ability to compete fairly even though I think this competition was unfair,” continued Ms Meloni.
What precisely is being argued?
Angela carini women’s World Championships
The International Olympic Committee has granted permission for two fighters who failed gender eligibility testing at the World Boxing Championships to participate in the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
Last year’s women’s World Championships at Delhi saw Algeria’s boxer disqualified from her gold medal match barely hours earlier. Khelif had been eliminated for having too much testosterone in her body according to Algerian media.
At the same event, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting who won world title twice could not meet certain requirements and so she gave up the bronze medal.
TASS, the Russian news agency, quoted Umar Kremlev, President of Amateur Boxing who stated that “DNA tests of two boxers proved they have XY chromosomes and were thus excluded.” Females have XX chromosomes while males possess XY chromosomes.
In an article on X, Reem Alsalem, UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls was quoted saying that “Angela Carini rightly followed her instincts and prioritized her physical safety, but she and other female athletes should not have been exposed to this physical and psychological violence based on their sex.”
The World Championships organized by the International Boxing Association (IBA) were not recognized by the International Olympic Committee due to financial transparency concerns.
Among other things, the IOC’s withdrawal of recognition for IBA owed to ambiguity regarding the source of prize monies.
According to them,”the IBA was not prepared to transparently explain the sources of its financing or to explain its full financial dependency at the time on a single state-owned company Gazprom”.
The Paris Olympics boxing competition is being managed by Paris Boxing Unit (PBU), which is an ad hoc division that reports into the Executive Board of IOC.
“Mark Adams said that everyone in women’s category competing had met all requirements set for participation.” They are females as per what appear in their passports.”

Countries Support Their Fighters
As expected, Taiwan’s and Algeria’s leaders supported their boxers. “Taiwanese people have been united by Yu-ting’s performances which inspired many Taiwanese players,” said President Lai Ching-te. She is now back at the world stage; let us come together as one and support her.”
This was described by Alegria’s Olympic committee as “a malicious and unethical attack directed against our distinguished athlete, Imane Khelif, by certain foreign media”.
Instead, Khelif appealed first against IBA’s findings before CAS but later withdrew it during proceedings, which the IBA affirmed through a statement thereby binding their decision.
However, Lin Yu-ting did not file an appeal and hence this decision is now valid.
“According to IBA, the IOC’s inconsistent regulations in this regard cast serious doubts about athletes’ safety as well as competitive fairness. To obtain explanations regarding why it allows athletes with a competitive edge to participate in its contests, we encourage all interested parties to contact immediately the IOC,” commented on this issue IBA.
”Discuss your fear of a man mistreating a woman.”
During the game, J.K. Rowling, the writer behind Harry Potter series, voiced her opinion regarding gender contention by remarking that “tell me why you are alright with a guy publicly thrashing his girlfriend for your viewing pleasure.” It is not sports. It’s guys feeling good about their power over girls since the red bully cheat to those who authorized it.”
Kirsty Burrows, who is IOC Head of Safe Sport Unit said during our press conference “Paris 2024 Olympics offers a package of mental health and safeguard initiatives greater than any other Olympic Games or sport event ever held.”
Ms. Rowling commented thus; “You have just destroyed everything a young girl boxer has been striving and training for because you allowed this male to go into the ring with her.” Ms. Burrow’s remarks were not relevant to the situation concerning boxing match. Your ‘safeguarding’ is bogus, you should be ashamed of yourself and Paris 24 will always bear Carini’s horrific injustice.”
