Breaking—LIVE Olympics boxing: Italian abandons fight with Imane Khelif, who failed gender test, after 46 seconds
The Telegraph ^ | 8/1/2024 | Brown

Posted on 08/01/2024 4:14:39 AM PDT by Phoenix8

The controversial fight between Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who failed a sex test at last year’s World Championships, and Italy’s Angela Carini has been abandoned after just 46 seconds after the Italian suffered a suspected broken nose.

This fight had already detonated ferocious controversy, with the International Olympic Committee under mounting pressure to explain how a woman could be allowed into a boxing ring unsure of the sex of the person she was facing.

Khelif was banned from competing in a gold-medal bout in Delhi by the International Boxing Association, who said that the fighter had failed biochemical tests in two consecutive years.

And yet she was still permitted by the IOC to fight at these Olympics and the difference in power was clear from the beginning, with the Italian taking a punch to the face and immediately walking to her corner to signal she would not carry on.

While it may get them disqualified, a couple of exploratory blows below the belt might help with gender identification.

It is wrong to let men compete as women. They should get mental health care and at competitions be allowed to compete in their sex or in a new category "It".

And media should be challenged to use his correct sex, male, he, him.

Unfair characterization. Do you have any clue what it takes for an athlete to make their national team? Have you ever in your life trained at that physical level? For a boxer, getting in the ring is the easy part, the physical and mental toughness to train at that level is unbelievably demanding. She trained for this the majority of her young life, she deserves respect for not backing away from fighting a man. You assume because this country is consumed by wokeism that all countries are, that is just not the case.

I can’t imagine all that hard work and then having to face a male, but women’s sports are being sacrificed to woke ideology. The only cure is 100% refusal of the women to participate. Don’t participate in the fraud and take a stand.

She should have flipped the finger to the judges and walked away before getting physically assualted by a man that weighed at least 40 pounds more than she does.

The rule needs to be “ If you don’t have XX chromosomes, then you compete against men”, period, no exceptions.

Why wait so long and avoid the obvious? I refuse to watch even the snips of what has already happened over the opening ceremony. And I refuse to ever do so over the slap in the face to every WOMAN due to MEN with painted toenails being allowed to win the women’s events. Purely evil and disgusting.

"Hopefully this will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back."

It won't be. Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, you know.

At this point, I'm not sure the trajectory would change if he had given the Italian gal a cerebral hemorrhage and killed her. Sure, it would be called a "tragedy," and she'd have been remembered in the closing ceremonies, but outside of her family, the whole thing would be shoved down the memory hole in a matter of weeks.

They don't have weight classes in women's boxing?

But, that would be logical. Where does logic and science fit into the woke agenda?

The opening ceremony signaled that no one in authority can determine what a women is anymore. If the entire world where able to hang all these leaders who push this gender bender lie, the world would be a better place.

You have no clue. Give the middle finger to the Judges, WTH, the judges have no control over this. They “judge” a match only, they don’t decide who fights. Unless of course you give them the middle finger. Because after that you will never fight as a member of the National team again. You will be banned from competition. She would have to go pro. She is a victim as was Gaines and all the young female athletes forced to compete against biological males. After the games, if she turns pro, then she can tell them FU and go on TV and social media and bash the IOC.

The fact that she got into the ring with a man at the Olympics simply shows she complied with the Wokeness being pushed by the US Department of State. Make no mistake, every agreement has LGBT language and advancement in American diplomacy since February 2008.
