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.

If that was video of THE punch...it didn’t land on the nose of the Italian fighter.
Amen. Ms Carini and Reilly Gaines need to have a meeting.
Obviously pandering to the mentally ill has gone too far. But short of quitting the National Team, like Riley Gaines, she is trapped by the system.
And the feminists are silent. They’ve all retreated to their cricket farms.

Photo retouching by biased elements can't hide the reality of biology (and that Adam's Apple, now backed by blood tests).
It's absolutely shameful to have IOC defending trans in sports (and gaslighting, to state nothing of photo manipulation) placing biological males in competition with females, an order of magnitude worse in a sport such as boxing
I think this brave warrior Khelif should now be placed into a ring with a male fighter who also identifies as female.
I may be wrong, but I’m thinking that a terrorist attack may be less likely- they’re laughing too much.
Yes sex is the biological reality, agree.
Gender is real in that it’s NOT ambiguous.
I.E.
Boy=male sex
Girl=female sex
All the rest like binary, fluid, trans, spirit gender, cisgender and the other 90..hundreds whatever the delusional leftists are saying now is imaginary.
Is what I meant.
Hey old goat. I may not have been at her level as you rank it, butI maintianed a 300 on my Army Physical fitness test for over 20 years, no small feat, which required I work out on that skill set day in and out. I took that test 2-3x a year depending on military schooling, and never once fell below 292 and only had 7 lower than 300. Not many people MAX their PT tests in the Infantry or in combat arms units. Not when properly administered.
Pertinent to this discussion is a cool fact, one of the Army’s 1972 olympic boxing Coaches, SSG Johnson was an NCO in my company in the 82d Airborne Divison, and he was assigned SD Special Duty to train boxers, several again in my company and battalion; so I’ve been around boxers at the highest levels. When I was an IG I worked for over three years and daily trained with with a guy who won the Army/Ft Bragg TriAthlon Event twice. So again I’ve been side with the best; today Pete is totally physically broken down and I’m in towed jumper status myself. I know from youth old age what a competitive athlete has to endure. But women boxing against men is not one of them.
The fact that you are in strict compliance with the regime’s fake sports says all that needs be said. The truth is that this Olympics, and any man vs. woman boxing event is a political event designed for political purposes.
Every four years the Olympics are used as a political hammer against the Russians, or whoever the West doesn’t want competing... but this year the Olypmics were stolen from the people of the world by the Marxists. They are mocking you and me, and the athletes. They have staged an event fully funded by many countries in good faith.
Having put up with the BS surrounding the US women’s soccer team for years, or the BB take a knee crowd, there comes a point where the person competing needs to simply say no.
This is not Gladiator but real life. This year’s olympics depends on people like you that demand participation for the sake of the games, but these are no longer games but political theater.
The athletes knuckled under for this expletive-deleted.
No sympathy from me.
However, that does not compare to how an International level athlete trains. Boxers especially have an unbelievable regimen. Then they have to fight their way through Regional, National and International competitions to qualify, while still training at a high level. It is nothing like staying in shape for a military PFT.
Yes, the body does not take kindly to the abuse, but thankfully we now have a better understanding of the human body and have gotten rid of exercises that did long term damage. Sit-ups are horrible for the lower back, for years I did 200-300 sit-ups five days a week to keep my score up on the USMC PFT. Pushups are another exercise that does long term damage for minimal short term gain. Planking and other core exercise are less damaging and have measurable effects. This goes to how we train fighters now. We use new and innovative exercises and equipment that is less damaging to the body.
In the end what we are talking about is a young women who deserves respect for just getting in the ring with a man. That took heart. For those who say she should have walked out in protest, I say they never trained and fought to get to that position so they have no right to tell her what she should have done. God Bless her, she is tough and has a lot heart.
Badly written headline
This dude’s allowed to be a tranny representing a muzzie shithole?
Check out the look on the ref’s face.
If he had any integrity, he wouldn’t have officiated the fight. Part of the ref’s responsibility is to protect a fighter who has lost the ability to defend themselves.
The Italian woman stepped into the ring unable to defend herself adequately.
It's a joke and it's not funny.
I read recently that about 80% of the gender-confused are women pretending to be men.
I wonder why it is that there are not more trans-men competing in all-male sports? /S
19.39. Towed Parachutist.I was Air Force and flew twice in C-130's, one rigged for parachutists. The bench seats made a great bed, coming home on emergency leave from the Azores.19.39.1. The jumpmaster will stop the remaining parachutists; the loadmaster will notify the PIC; and the PM will turn on the red light. The PF will maintain drop airspeed, at least the minimum drop altitude (AGL) for the type parachute being used, and avoid flying over or up wind of water or built up areas.
19.39.1.1. Crews should suspect they have a towed parachutist if static lines are not fully tucked into the upper corner of the paratroop door or if a D-bag appears to be stuck outside the door. It is unlikely for a D-bag to become caught on the outside of the aircraft and is a probable indicator a parachutist is being towed. In any case, crews should follow AFI11-2C-130V3 23 APRIL 2012 259 emergency procedures until they have confirmed no parachutist is being towed. Crews should take special effort to confirm towed jumper status at night with limited rearward visibility. They should consider using an additional source of illumination to view the rear of the aircraft.19.39.2. The jumpmaster or safety observer is responsible for identifying how the parachutist is towed. If being towed by anything other than the static line, the jumpmaster or safety will attempt to free the parachutist. If being towed by the static line, the jumpmaster or safety will make a recommendation to the PIC, through the loadmaster, whether to retrieve the parachutist or cut him or her free. If all parachutists have exited and there is no safety person onboard, this responsibility rests with the loadmaster.19.39.3. The PIC will make the final decision whether or not to cut the towed parachutist free. If the decision is to cut the parachutist free, the loadmaster will cut the static line on the PIC‘s command. NOTE: Towed parachutists indicate consciousness and that reserve parachute is ready by maintaining a tight-body position with both hands on reserve parachute. This indicates the jumper is prepared to be cut away.
Toad Jumper Status is frogs that are tired of life and decided to take a leap.
Following him beat up old and worn out. If you’ve ever bounced off the side of an AC they say it’s like getting old before your time. 101 Jumps and one accident. We all get hurt.
