‘It’s Evil’: Fans Erupt in Anger After Olympic Boxer Alleged to Have Male Chromosomes, Defeats Female Fighter in Under a Minute
Millions of sports fans are speaking out against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for allowing a fighter who was disqualified from a 2023 tournament for allegedly having male chromosomes to face a female opponent on Thursday.
It only took female Olympic boxer Angela Carini of Italy 46 seconds into what was supposed to be the biggest match of her life to realize that she could not beat Imane Khalif, the fighter from Algeria who had failed a gender test administered by the International Boxing Association. After those 46 seconds, Carini abandoned the ring and called off her hunt for an Olympic medal.
Today, Angela Carini had her Olympics dreams shattered by Imane Khelif, a male boxer.
It is suspected that he BROKE HER NOSE.
Don’t let this pass quietly. MEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BEAT WOMEN FOR SPORT.

After giving up her dreams of Olympic gold, Carini told the media, “I am heartbroken. I went into the ring to honor my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this.”
In another post-bout interview, she added, “I have never been hit so hard in my life.”
“I have never been hit so hard in my life. It’s up to the IOC to judge.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also blasted the IOC for allowing this to happen, saying, “Athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions. Not because we want to discriminate against anyone, but in order to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.”
Millions were incensed by the IOC’s decision to allow Khelif to fight women and blasted the Games on social media.
Women’s rights activist Riley Gaines ridiculed the “inclusion” pushed by the IOC:

Tennis great Martina Navratilova and Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling also blasted the Olympics for this “travesty.”
Exactly right.
This is all on IOC and those in power who make the rules. It’s a travesty and makes a mockery of all Olympic sports. https://t.co/LTKF8Yt9z5— Martina Navratilova (@Martina) August 1, 2024
X user Darren Grimes noted that the IOC allowed the man to box as a female even though he was recently disqualified from fighting as a woman:
The International Olympic Committee confirmed two boxers who were disqualified from the world championships last year for failing ‘gender eligibility tests’ were allowed to fight in Paris.
What a bloody disgrace!
So the Olympics permits MEN smacking women about?!

Many, many others agreed that the situation is an outrage:

I find it really hard to imagine a sport where a man’s body against a woman’s isn’t an unfair advantage. And I fail to see how letting male bodies compete against women’s fits into the rubric of “women’s sports.” It’s brutally unfair to women that political correctness has taken…

Sorry. This fight was BS. The “winner” didn’t win. That is a cheater! Can’t fight as a man, so let’s be a woman! To rob women of what we’ve fought so hard for is setting us back 100 years! Men who are women…cool! Be that! But, stay in your lane of biology… so wrong!

And just like that….all women’s accomplishments were erased.
Democrats hate women. Anyone that advocates for this, hates women. This is spite.— TheRightGirl (@TheRightGirl47) August 1, 2024
It’s evil is what it is. Her dreams crushed by a dude who has mental issues.

Just when you thought the Olympics couldn’t be more despicable than their opening night ceremony, they allow a man to violently assault a woman with their blessing. Straight trash. @OM_Officiel @iocmedia.
