Boxing Gender-Eligibility Row at the Olympics

The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.' The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics.

At this point OLYMPICS ARE A JOKE. From this to the opening ceremony.

[janesmith]

The Paris Olympics have become a global joke.

[didyouknowamazingfacts]

Sometimes Life feels like we are living in the mind of a crazy person.

[ericbaluya]

IOC used passport rules, the boxing federation used gender identity test. Who dp you think had a more sensible and robust test?

[Erichb]

The committee has no defence for this. Shame shame

[nexiros]

Imane Khelif has XY chromosomes, therefore Male. Men should not be competing against women. Period.

[johns]

5:30 what a clown, she’s been beaten 9 times before by women, got beat at the last Olympics, one of the women who beat here is actually defending her….., bro talking like she an unstoppable Mike Tyson

[archangel]

Female athletes just need to boycott competing against an XY athlete.

[MaryBransfield]

Everyone also has the option of ignoring the Olympics whic many many people are doing.

[arondebreceni]

I see that science in Britain has not yet reached the stage where they can answer the question of what a woman is. The professor had particular difficulty in choosing the right gender test.🤣

[MrTuinslang]

He...not she. You're confirming the delusion

[robws]

When will the media stop saying "women with elevated testosterone" and at least qualify that this is because they are intersex and have XY chromosomes?!

[philipjohnkaye]

The entire world of sports is a joke, paid absolutely ridiculous amounts of money whilst people are dying in the NHS due to poor funding. Disgusting.

[jacobtuyishime]

They said the same on castar semenya who is a South African and now the man is married after winning medals against women. It's crazy tje world we are living in.

[hadia]

Talking about some abnormal advantage for imane when her results are average at best throughout her boxing career untill now is what's unfair and you're all participating in said discrimination because now that she developped her skills well enough to be able to win a medal you come up with this bull to take her out outside the ring to leave the road open and easy for your white boxers. This is what's disgraceful here. I Dare you all to bring out the so called tests and results that she went under by the IBF none of the world have seen it. All if what's being said about her is hear say from a corrupt Russian official who seems to have suddenly regained crediblity specifically for this case.. Shame on you.

[steeltrap]

Based on their passports? Oh, terribly scientific then.

[ppJoNeS]

huge shame for hymanity, this is madness

[iguiste]

Why I have shown no time or investment into the Paris Olympics. If more people simply didn't bother they'd be forced to change in future. As long as people attend or watch then this won't change.

[josephwallis]

World swimming and aquatics body, World Athletics associations, now have updated all their gender and testosterone policy, why IOC is still 12 months behind ??

[Dlajhhd]

Congrats Iman and let all haters cry 😂😂
