Must a woman sacrifice her life for this madness to cease?
The 2024 Paris Olympics will, justly, forever bear a stain for permitting a boxer who appears masculine to compete against a biological woman.
The female boxer in question, Angela Carini from Italy, sustained a severe blow to her nose before tearing off her helmet and concluding the match in a mere 46 seconds.
Her opponent, Imane Khelif from Algeria, loomed over her, muscles bulging.
Khelif failed two ‘sex tests’ in March 2023 and was subsequently barred by the International Boxing Association from facing women.
‘This is unjust,’ Carini cried out.
Indeed, that is the most fitting word: unjust.
The 2024 Paris Olympics will forever, and rightly, be marred for allowing a boxer who presents as masculine to fight against a biological woman.
Imane Khelif (pictured) failed two ‘sex tests’ in March 2023 and was banned by the International Boxing Association from competing against women.
Women are still fighting for basic rights, including the right not to compete against anyone who is not a biological female.
This boxing match—truly an atrocity and a set-up—was destined to happen. Carini’s life could have been at risk.
What she experienced can only be viewed, in my opinion, as a televised assault.
‘I quit to save my life,’ she stated on Thursday. ‘I couldn’t breathe anymore.’
This determined fighter—’my father taught me to be a warrior,’ she shared—was on her knees in defeat, crying and inconsolable.
Angela, the world’s women stand with you, and we are furious.
‘I’ve never taken a punch like that,’ Carini said after walking away. ‘Continuing was impossible.’
She declined to comment further on her opponent’s apparent biological advantages—because that would, of course, be the true outrage.
‘I am not in a position to say whether this is right or wrong.’
Let me say it then: This is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss asked on X: ‘When will this madness stop?’
Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies remarked: ‘A bloody disgrace. Effectively legalizing the assault of females.’
JK Rowling queried: ‘What will it take to end this insanity? A female boxer left with life-altering injuries? A female boxer killed?’
Jake Paul, honorary boxing coach for Team USA, called it: ‘This is sickening. This is a tragedy. Regardless of beliefs, this is wrong and perilous.’
Carini, a 25-year-old welterweight, faced Khelif, a 25-year-old amateur boxer who, according to tests from the International Boxing Association, possesses XY (male) chromosomes. This indicates that Khelif may be intersex.
That female boxer, Italy’s Angela Carini (pictured), took a brutal blow to her nose before ripping off her helmet and ending the match after just 46 seconds.
Khelif ‘identifies’ as female—yet was previously barred by the IBA from competing against biological women at the world championships last year.
However, the IBA was later removed from governing the sport by the International Olympic Committee, which subsequently cleared Khelif to fight Carini, without disclosing how or why, asserting only that Khelif met their ‘criteria’.
‘Federations need to establish rules ensuring fairness,’ IOC spokesperson Mark Adams stated this week, ‘while also allowing everyone the chance to participate. It’s a challenging balance.’
Isn’t that some generic, boilerplate nonsense?
We now find ourselves in an alarmingly dangerous situation.
This is not about a male-bodied athlete competing against women in sports like swimming or cycling.
Boxing is a brutal and violent sport, where athletes have faced fatal consequences in the ring. Even the legendary Muhammad Ali suffered the effects of Parkinson’s, likely as a result of numerous impacts.
There is a reason boxers are categorized by weight: 17 classes exist for both men and women.
Ross Tucker, a sports science professor, informed the Mail that this is akin to matching a 200lb fighter against someone who weighs 130lbs.
‘That’s roughly the disparity in strength and power between male and female boxers,’ he noted. ‘You can’t endorse a disadvantage that poses potential harm and assert, ‘women must accept that.’
Yet, that’s exactly the narrative being reiterated to us constantly.
From prisons to sororities, school bathrooms, shelters, high school and college sports, and now the Olympics—the message is clear: Women do not matter.
Following this embarrassing display of a fight, Carini’s coach, Emanuele Renzini, remarked the unthinkable.
‘Numerous individuals in Italy attempted to contact her: ‘Don’t go, please. It’s a man. It’s dangerous for you.’
However, the IOC, like many institutions compromised by progressive ideology, seems more intent on being politically correct and avoiding offense to gender-nonconforming athletes than on safeguarding women.
Observe Khelif’s demeanor, smirking and parading around as if she has achieved a hard-fought championship.
She raised her fist in triumph while a visibly dejected Carini looked down, her shoulders slumped, before condescendingly patting her on the back.
Khelif exhibited no remorse, shock, or sadness. No sense of sportsmanship whatsoever.
Raising a fist in victory as an utterly crushed Carini looks down, shoulders slumped, before condescendingly patting her on the back.
No remorse, only intolerable and undeserved pride in defeating a competitor who had no chance—while invoking God, no less.
‘Challenging for a first fight,’ Khelif commented.
Is this person serious?
‘Insh’Allah [if Allah wills it] for the second fight,’ Khelif added. ‘I need an Olympic medal in Paris.’
I, I, I. No consideration for Carini, who struggles to maintain her head high while enduring an unnecessary global humiliation.
Her hard work, her sacrifices, the chance to achieve a lifelong aspiration—all shattered in 46 seconds. And yet Khelif revels in it.
Incredibly, as of this moment, the IOC is permitting this disgraceful athlete to contend against another biological female on Saturday.
Just when you think it couldn’t worsen: Olympic officials now claim that Khelif is the real victim, suffering ‘abuse’ and ‘discrimination’.
What an utter disgrace the IOC has become. They have failed every female athlete, every coach and fan, every young girl aspiring to make her mark someday.
Who in the IOC will stand against this arrogance?
Or must another female athlete risk her life—perhaps even lose it—for reason to prevail?
