Outrage is quickly building after a female Olympic boxer was forced to abandon her match against a male boxer because his punches hit too hard.
The outrage revolves around the fact that the male boxer, Imane Khelif, has been allowed by the Olympics to identify and compete as a female, despite having previously failed a number of gender eligibility tests.
Yet his phony, delusional belief has had no bearing on his unsurprising ability to beat Italian challenger Angela Carini to a pulp.
Watch:
After abandoning the fight, Carini broke down into tears as she recounted what had just occurred.
“I am heartbroken,” she said. “I went to 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.”
“I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but one punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I’m going out with my head held high,” she added. “After the second punch, after years of experience, I felt a strong pain in the nose. I said enough because I didn’t want. I couldn’t finish the fight after the punch to the nose. So it was better to put an end to it.”
“I am in pieces because I am a fighter. They taught me to be a warrior. I have always tried to behave with honor. I have always represented my country with loyalty. This time I didn’t manage to because I couldn’t fight anymore. Regardless of the person I had in front, of me, which doesn’t interest me, regardless of all the row, I just wanted to win. I wanted to face the person that I had in front of me and to fight,” she added.
Asked about her opponent, she said it’s “not up to me to judge” whether he should have been allowed to compete. “I did my job,” she added.
While this is what she said during her press conference, her behavior suggests that she rightly resents Khelif.
“She yelled ‘this is unjust’ at her corner and slammed her headgear on the canvas as the match in the 66-kilogram division was called off,” the
New York Post noted. “Carini refused a handshake from Khelif and then ripped her hand away from the ref as Khelif’s was raised as the winner.”
Carini’s coach, Emanuel Renzini, meanwhile told reporters that many people in Italy had warned Carini against taking the fight.
“Many people in Italy tried to call and tell her: ‘Don’t go please: It’s a man, it’s dangerous for you,'” he said.
Carini’s unnecessary loss has sparked massive outrage, including from a number of high-profile individuals.
“I think that athletes who have male genetic characteristics should not be admitted to women’s competitions,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a statement. “And not because you want to discriminate against someone, but to protect the right of female athletes to be able to compete on equal terms.”
