Olympic Boxer Deemed To Have Male Chromosomes Wins Fight In 46 Seconds
Clear Facts
- Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer who was found to have male chromosomes, secured a swift 46-second victory in the 66-kilogram women’s division at the Paris Olympics.
- Italian opponent Angela Carini was left in tears, questioning the fairness of the contest after feeling the brunt of Khelif’s powerful punch.
- Khelif experienced controversy and disqualification during the 2023 World Championships due to failing a gender eligibility test, but was later cleared for participation in the Olympics by the International Olympic Committee.
During the Paris Olympics, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif won a match in the women’s 66-kilogram division, causing a stir among spectators. Her victory came just 46 seconds into the match, leading her opponent, Angela Carini from Italy, to concede.
Carini later shared her reasons for leaving the match. “I got into the ring to fight,” she said. “I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much, so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high.”
Carini’s coach, Emanuele Renzini, confirmed that it was not premeditated to quit the match. “It would have been easier not to show up, because all of Italy had been asking her not to fight for days,” Renzini said. “But Angela was motivated and wanted to do it. Of course, when she met her opponent at the draw, she said ‘it’s not fair.’ But there was no premeditation here today. She quit after taking one punch, she told me she didn’t feel she could fight.”
Khelif’s victory was not without controversy. In 2023, she was disqualified from the World Championships by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to failing to meet gender eligibility standards.
IBA president Umar Kremlev explained the 2023 decision, commenting on athletes who try to deceive others. “Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition,” Kremlev said.
Despite the controversy, both Khelif and the Algerian Olympic Committee (COA) denied the allegations. The International Olympic Committee also cleared Khelif to compete in the Games. “Everyone competing in the women’s category is complying with the competition eligibility rules,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said. “They are women in their passports and it’s stated that this is the case, that they are female.”
The COA criticized those attempting to tarnish Khelif’s reputation. “COA strongly condemns the unethical targeting and maligning of our esteemed athlete, Imane Khelif, with baseless propaganda from certain quarters,” the committee expressed. “Such attacks on her personality and dignity are deeply unfair, especially as she prepares for the Olympics. The COA has taken all necessary measures to protect our champion.”
Rosario Coco, the president of Gaynet Communications in Italy, clarified that Khelif was intersex, not transgender. “In contrast to the reports that have been circulating, the Algerian athlete Imane Khelif is not a trans woman,” Coco stated. “From the information we have about her, she is an intersex person, who has always socialized as a woman and has a sporting history in women’s competitions.”

What gets me is why women go onto compete with these so called ‘women’ who are biological men.
Just don’t compete!!!
Olympic officials should have a separate category for these men who pretend to be women.

Every Olympic woman in Paris should be supporting Carini and protesting the IOC’s ridiculous stance on this. In my opinion, every woman Olympian should be packing her bags and leaving Paris for somewhere where she can compete where there’s an equal chance against their competition. If there isn’t sufficient protest early, as in NOW, this travesty will expand to more sports. IOC statements on the subject are clear indications of what they intend to do to women’s sport. And in contact and physical sports, men always have the advantage. I admire the women who have worked so hard to reach these games. But for some their best result can only be a bronze medal. In boxing, the gold and silver will go to the two fake women who have been allowed to compete against the real women.

This was the last place I thought We would see this GARBAGE, But I guess the TRANNY craziness is world wide everybody has lost their common sense. You are either a Male or a Female, God did not make TRANNY’S. There are 2 genders and that is all.

I can’t understand why women just don’t refuse to fight these weak mental disturbed freaks. That are weak men. Why not caster rate them and then it will be fair. The deviant freaks have no right to fight women. men, that can’t functions normally.

If you were born a male, you will always be a male, no matter what cosmetics or implants you use.
It is extremely unfair and indecent to allow these “females” to compete against those who were BORN FEMALE.
There ought to be a law against this WOKE practice and mentality. It was not so in the original Greek Olympics, and it should not be so today.
The International Olympic Committee should be brought to court, and suspended. Find some decent people to replace them.

Angela Carini should sue the International Olympic Committee and win..
This Committee’s decision to allow a male whose gender had been verified to compete against a female was a most cruel, unjust, and insane act of misogyny.

Since when does a passport have more meaning than a birth certificate or a physical exam by a certified physician? Poor excuse. This needs to stop before some female is killed competing….
