Trans athlete in Paris 2024! The controversy took hold of the Olympic Gamesafter Italian boxer Angela Carini lost, in 45 seconds, to her transgender opponent Imane Khelif, from Algeria, who was allowed to compete in the women’s category.
A video posted on social media showed the moment when Carini broke down in tears, after falling to Khelif in less than a minute.
The reason is that given the unequal strength of both, he had no choice but to abandon the fight.
Following the outcome of the fight, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticised the fact that trans people were allowed to fight in the women’s category.
“With these levels of testosterone, this is not a fair competition. Athletes with masculine attributes should not be allowed in women’s competitions.”questioned the policy.
According to Alerta News, Khelif was disqualified by the International Boxing Association last year after she was found to have male chromosomes.
However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed her to participate in Paris 2024, which generated a wave of criticism on social media.
“A man’s arm muscles are much more developed than a woman’s. This is unsportsmanlike and unbiological. For the world’s largest sports committee to ignore this makes them stupid,” “The IOC’s decision to allow Khelif to participate, despite the previous disqualification, raises serious questions about fairness and consistency in sports regulations.”are some of the comments.
