Italian Boxer Angela Carini Breaks Down in Tears After Controversial Loss
Fight Ends Abruptly After 46 Seconds Amid Gender Eligibility Dispute
Carini Pulls Out After Two Hard Blows
In a heart-wrenching moment, Italian boxer Angela Carini wept as she withdrew from her welterweight round of 16 bout after just 46 seconds. Carini was visibly shaken after being struck by two powerful blows from her opponent, Algeria's Imane Khelif.
The fight sparked controversy even before it began. Khelif was the subject of a gender eligibility test last year, which she failed. Despite this, she was allowed to compete in the Olympics, igniting a heated debate about fairness in women's sports.
Amidst the ongoing row over Khelif's eligibility, Carini's decision to withdraw from the bout shocked spectators. The Italian boxer cited safety concerns, saying she did not feel safe competing against someone who had failed a gender test.
The highly contentious match has once again raised questions about the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) policies on transgender athletes. The IOC has been criticized for its lack of clear guidelines on gender eligibility, leaving many athletes and fans feeling confused and frustrated.
Carini's heartbreaking withdrawal has cast a shadow over the Olympic Games, highlighting the need for a fair and inclusive approach to transgender participation in sports.
