A boxer deemed a 'biological male' today won against an Italian woman in one of the most controversial Olympic bouts ever.
The fight between Italy's Angela Carini and her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif took just 46 seconds, with the Italian throwing her helmet onto the floor as the clash was abandoned, yelling: 'This is unjust.'
The 25-year-old refused the handshake and fell to the canvas sobbing having received just two punches from Khelif - who had been banned from a major boxing contest before the Olympics.
Khelif was thrown out of last year's world championships after failing testosterone tests carried out to establish gender qualification.
After the match was stopped, the referee raised Khelif's hand in the air. But a visibly furious Carini yanked her own hand away from the fight official and walked off.
Ignoring the Algerian, the Italian fighter then plunged to her knees and burst into tears as she said she had never felt such strong blows in a contest before.
Speaking after the match, the heartbroken Italian said: 'I'm used to suffering. I've never taken a punch like that, it's impossible to continue. I'm nobody to say it's illegal.
'I got into the ring to fight. But I didn't feel like it anymore after the first minute. I started to feel a strong pain in my nose. I didn't give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I'm leaving with my head held high.'

“whatever happened to synchronized swimming?”
Name change: Artistic Swimming
(Imane Khelif)
Looks like a dude......
Freak show, the whole Olympics. This should kill off the brand.
The rest of the world doesn’t have Democrats. You are looking for the words Marxists. Down here in Texas we understand the simple fact that a steer is still a boy cow.
Well, another reason to not watch the Olympics.
The fake woman is from ALGERIA? What’s up with that? Muslims tolerate this?
This is not a gender change/trans issue like Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner.
It is a 46, XY DSD case where a child has no visible external testes and is brought up as a girl (eg Caster Semenya)
Brilliant.
Algerion???Is he Muslim?
Maybe they should allow “biological women” boxers to kick their opponents in the balls. It would make the matches more “fair”.
The Algerian was born “female”, but tested as XY
Who watches the Olympics anymore?
By next week the Italian woman will be called transphobic, etc. and the IOC will try to cancel her.
Supposedly Imane Khelif is not transgender. Dunno.
From wikipedia ...
“International Boxing Association president Umar Kremlev said DNA testing of Khelif and other athletes “proved they had XY chromosomes and were thus excluded from the sports events”.
Khelif is not transgender, but has a disorder of sex development (DSD), which causes some females to have XY chromosomes and blood testosterone levels typical of a male.
In Algeria, the country that Kheliff represents, transgender identity is prohibited, changing gender or sex on identity documents is not permitted, nor are medical or hormonal treatments allowed to transition to another sex.”
