Caitlin Clark was named AP’s Female Athlete of the Year without much competition, but one person who received votes was the cause for much controversy over the summer.
A group of 74 sports journalists from The Associated Press and its members voted on the award.
Clark received 35 votes, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was second with 25.
But Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif was third, getting four votes.
Khelif qualified for the Paris Olympics, but Khelif’s gender was called into question following a disqualification from the 2023 championships before a gold medal bout over gender eligibility issues.
IBA President Umar Kremlev said the boxer had “XY chromosomes,” which are associated with biological males.
One boxer, Angela Carini, forfeited her bout against Khelif in Paris, saying “one punch hurt too much.”
Khelif won gold in Paris and wasn’t the only boxer to win a women’s gold who has been disqualified for failing gender eligibility tests.

“Khelif was the most Googled athlete of the year, largely in part due to the controversy.”
Imane “Bud” Khelif?
Not the Bee.
“XY chromosomes, which are associated with biological males.”
They aren’t “associated” with biological males, they are DETERINATE of biological males!
determinate
The AP is simply the deep-state Pravda or People’s Daily.
I am quite sure ts “editorial policy” comes right from the Dept of Homeland Security and the CIA
Imane Khelif is allowed to pretend he’s a female, but Elizabeth Warren was not allowed to pretend she’s a Cherokee. That seems so unfair.
Oh, wait. Warren was allowed to pretend she’s a Cherokee.
Never mind.
Only 4 votes is a good thing. Not long ago, she would have won. We will get to zero soon.
Regardless of this controversy female boxing creeps me out. Would never watch it ever.
The best woman for the job turns out to be a man!
Editorial policy, approved words handbook for news content, finance, and management, all courtesy of the government.
Determinate is an adjective.

It takes a man to beat up women and win the title, “woman of the year.”

So is “associated” Einstein.
“So is “associated” Einstein.”
You used “associated with”. That is all phrasal verb.
You need to get a life, then you need to go and pester somebody else.
