Italy’s Angela Carini abandoned her Olympic bout against Algerian boxer Imane Khelif inside 46 seconds, saying: “I had to preserve my life.”
Khelif is one of two athletes who have been cleared to compete in the women’s boxing in Paris, having been disqualified from last year’s Women’s World Championships for failing to meet eligibility criteria.
IOC spokesman Mark Adams said the two boxers are “real people” who have been competing “for many years”.
He added that “this is not a transgender issue”.
Khelif will face Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori in the 66kg quarter-finals on Saturday, where another win would guarantee her an Olympic medal.

Idoits- who is doing the real thinking?
What would happen if the fight continued and Carini got seriously injured…won't that be negligence on the part of IOC for allowing a man to fight a woman?
Fuck you bbc ,you are a probaganda chanel shame on you ,i saw all the press confrece and the represente of jo said that the boxer girl from algeria was born female and grow up like a female and she is a women not a transgndre and not a man ,the italien does the same thing in jo tokyo 2021 ,she is a shame for the sport and you are the shame of the press
That boxer's a DUDE!! Totally unfair!!!
It's really an easy decision to make.
女子が鍛練してきた格闘技ボクシングが、いとも簡単に男子の身体を持つものに金メダルを持っていかれました。
trans women love them but when it comes to boxing it should be real man vs real man & real girl vs real girl but you could have trans women boxing each other & trans men vs trans men but a girl vs real man in boxing just think of this for a min what if mike tyson became a woman you wouldn't let her fight a real woman now we all on the same page & mike tyson can beat anyones ass he rocks also.
Reactionary people are so stupid. She's just a very strong cis woman. Keep your transphobia for another women sports event, that you're suddenly started care so much about.
Dude looks like a lady😂
No, no good. I never thought I was seeing this ridiculous nonsense. Go on. Wow
I don't know why male transgender are not compiting, because they know they will not win a single game. # StopthisMadness
Biological men should never be paired with women in sports. This is completely EVIL! I’d like to see this weak guy dressed as a girl fight with men. He will answer to God for his abomination.
Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman shall not be clothed with manly apparel, nor shall a man make use of feminine apparel. For whoever does these things is abominable with God.
Matthew 19:4 And he said to them in response, “Have you not read that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female?” And he said:
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man’s heart inclines to the right and a foolish mans heart inclines to the left.
IOC is basically apologising with the 'we are sorry yoy offended' speeches….
That indvidual was born intersex . In fact she/he has lost 9 times to females. Also has only (3) tko's
If a win is so controversial then it isn't a win.
when woke clowns are allowed anywhere near anything.. this sort of circus act appears… what a joke and i feel bad for that young lady … so horrible
The IOC spokesperson is an idiot who doesn't know that this is reverse discrimination. They need to be sued to come to their senses. It was a cowardly game, and they need to create a separate transgender type and let them compete among themselves.
He is not a female 😳
It will take EVERY women in EVERY event to refuse to participate or this will continue
What a joke
The biological male is a coward to participate in biological women's sports. Hope this coward joins men's boxes where in front of real men he'll be defeated in 2 seconds
IOCはアスリートだけでなく全人類を侮辱している。このインチキ野郎が金メダルを取ってもそれは不正の象徴でしかなく空き缶のフタほどの価値もない。
“ it’s a difficult balance” , “ these are complex decisions”, what are you guys talking about, these are not hard decisions, “she” is a biological male and he’s in the wrong peer group.
I can care less about any part or event of the Olympics
