Paris Olympics Boxing Controversy Explodes: Staneva's 'X' Gesture Sparks Furious Debate | Watch

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.

Get rid of the current IOC officials …. WOKE ! and gutless .

[mitchjohnson]

The irony is Staneva has more balls than Bach, Lin and Khelif combined

[MichaelLFC____]

No way this Bulgarian woman should be criticised for defending being a woman

[silita]

the roman circus now called Olympics continues

[RonaldMa-bkti]

The Bulgarian boxer is infinitely more courageous than the two men posing as women and all the crooks in the IOC combined.

[lamaree]

So two men will compete in the Final of women boxing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[goshu]

The Bulgarian boxer even won the first 2 rounds. She actually beat the Taiwanian, but the refery robbed her. Thats what the Coach said.

[mikebenson]

All the women boxers should stand down in protest and stand behind Staneva! These male boxers are cheating in the ring.

[doriankaioh]

The CCP would never allow this athlete to compete in woman's boxing.

[SneakerGirlMtl]

Those are dudes, don’t even need a test to see that. The IOC bunch of 🤡🤡🤡

[varnaBG]

Svetlana, Bulgaria is proud of you. You are a courageous, strong woman!

[offshoretinker]

Stop bloody calling him HER would be a start to dismantling the whole trans nonsense.

[debymartin]

Two men box for women's metal, and it's fine because if you say it's discretion against women you get canceled. Make it make sense

[goshu]

The very same Taiwanian boxer came to a tournament in Bulgaria last year and was not permitted to participate for the OBVIOUS reasons. They know each

[jeorgefernandez]

Gender is assign at birth not in legal process

[inshambles]

Thomas Bach says that both Khelif and Lin are legally recognized as women... Legally yes but not biologically!! Which one is more important in physical contest Mr. Bach?!

[houlx]

What a shame they put upon this sport😢

[ViableSolutions]

The safety of the women fighting is really put in jeopardy here. What will happen if a woman gets seriously injured or killed in the ring? These boxers have 170% the boxing power of a female boxer.

[sgtleehead]

Why are all the comments hidden? I wonder.

[xiretsa]

The fact that I, as a German, cannot be proud of being German without being immediately labelled as part of the right-wing camp is unfortunately the reality here in Germany.
But I never thought that I would have to be ashamed of all the things that this government and its helpers do in all aspects of life around the world.
We are world champions again: but in stupidity, arrogance, incompetence and madness.
A "Thomas Bach" is just the mouthpiece of the new brown nationalists who are disguising themselves as Greens here...
