Olympic Boxing Drama

[Darkblaze]

Ooh boy there's some drama going on today! Olympic viewers are divided when it comes to women's boxing, since there's a Algeria boxer named Imane Khelif who won her match after her opponent, Angela Carini from Italy gave up 46 seconds into the match. Carini forfeited the match after getting hit and feeling intense pain in her nose. She gave a statement after the match stating she cried because she was devastated that she had to forfeit the match. This was her quote: "I am not here to judge or pass judgment," Carini said. "If an athlete is this way, and in that sense it's not right or it is right, it's not up to me to decide. I just did my job as a boxer. I got into the ring and fought. I did it with my head held high and with a broken heart for not having finished the last kilometer."

If people took the time to research this they would know that gender reassignment is banned from Algeria, and unfortunately if Imane was truly a trans woman she would have been murdered. She was born female, and some people born a specific sex may have different chromosomes than the usual XX/XY. Anyway it's more drama to talk about!
