Female boxer yells 'this is unjust' and falls to her knees in tears as she quits fight against 'biologically male' Olympic opponent
SUMMARY
In a highly controversial Olympic boxing match, Italian fighter Angela Carini was defeated by Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has been described as a "biological male." The fight, which lasted just 46 seconds, left Carini visibly distraught as she threw her helmet to the floor, refused a handshake, and fell to her knees in tears after being struck by only two punches. Khelif had previously been banned from a major contest after failing testosterone tests. Carini, who had entered the ring determined to fight, said the blows were unusually strong, causing her to stop the match despite her warrior mentality. The decision to allow Khelif to compete has sparked widespread outrage, with critics like former Prime Minister Liz Truss and Olympic champion Sharron Davies condemning the IOC for permitting a "biological male" to fight women, reigniting debates about fairness and gender in sports.
