The Paris Olympics are engulfed in controversy after Algerian boxer Imane Khelif caused Italy’s Angela Carini to quit just 46 seconds into their preliminary match on Thursday, but Khelif’s next opponent is undaunted.

Anna Luca Hamori, the first Hungarian Olympic boxer, faces Khelif in the quarterfinals Saturday and expressed that she has no fear.

Khelif’s Olympics entry has become a hot story after she was disqualified at the 2023 world championships “after her elevated levels of testosterone failed to meet the eligibility criteria,” according to the International Olympics Committee (IOC) database.

“I’m not scared,” Hamori told reporters. “I don’t care about the press story and social media. If she or he is a man, it will be a bigger victory for me if I win.”

An IOC spokesperson previously said Khelif is eligible for the Olympics as her passport says that she is a woman.

The same standard applied to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, who was also disqualified from the 2023 World Championship.

Women in the work place ... don't get the raises, don't get the promotions, don't get the nice office, don't get the awards, don't get the respect because THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES PUT OUT LIKE KAMALA HARRIS.

Fixed it.

That was going on in New York Cit, too, but the races were different.

Is a blow below the belt illegal in women’s boxing? If not, his opponents should adopt that target.

Maybe Conner MacGregor could get a passport saying he’s a woman, beat the hell out of these trannys and end this sH#t once and for all. He could give his gold medal to the 2nd place real woman and save the sport by making a mockery of it.

That apparently would not do much in this particular case (no gonads).
This Algerian boxer (Imane Khelif) reportedly has “Swyer Syndrome” (XY Gonadal Dysgenesis) 1 in 80,000 births genetic defect. “She” apparently did not get “HRT” (hormone replacement therapy) as a teen (rural Algeria heath care probably very lacking) so not many outward female characteristics (breasts).

Would probably be best for all involved if the IOC followed the IBA guidelines/testing:

Maybe Hamora can go for a jaw shot and ‘accidentally’ punch his adam’s apple then headbutt the nose while he’s gasping for air.

Go Hungry!
Hope she kicks his ass.

Please note: I have no objection whatsoever to creating multiple categories for trans, hermaphroditic, and otherwise non-normal contestants. Let them compete among themselves and win trophies honestly.

Great idea! Hint: The Paralympics start right after these games have finished.

[Robert DeLong]

They fight Saturday I believe. I’m not watching the woke Olympics personally.

> Hint: The Paralympics start right after these games have finished.

I can hardly wait until some fully able-bodied person declares that they identify as disabled, and applies to compete in the Paralympics so they can obliterate the truly disabled competitors.

Where does the insanity stop? I haven't seen that point yet.

[Moltke]

The insanity never stops. Think of it as entropy - ever increasing.
