Two men boxers who were disqualified from competing with women at a global boxing event last year after a chromosome test showed they were men, are about to fight women at the Paris Olympics in the women’s division.
Footage of boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria, who was banned from the Women’s World Box Championships in 2023, and Lin You-Ting, of Taiwan also disqualified in 2023 because he has both X and Y chromosomes, are being allowed to fight women boxers.
Khelif will box Italy’s Angela Carini in the Women’s Welterweight 66kg division on Aug. 1 at 6:20 a.m. Eastern time.
Yu-Ting will box in the Women’s 57kg division on Aug. 2, 9:30 a.m. Eastern time. His opponent is Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova, a woman.
The International Olympic Committee decided both men can participate, on the grounds that they have fulfilled eligibility have female passports.
A video of Khelif in a match with a Mexican boxer has been making the rounds on X/Twitter. In it, it’s clear the Mexican woman boxer is severely outmatched:
Some have made it clear that Khelif is not exactly transgender but is intersex, having both male and female traits present from birth, a very rare condition. Khelif has competed in women’s events but last year was excluded from the World Boxing Championship due to having both X and Y chromosomes, which makes him male. Khelif was allowed to box as a woman in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 because the testing of his hormones met the parameters set by the International Olympics Committee. Yu-Ting is also intersex, according to some accounts, but is a biological male.
The Olympic Games are no longer credible! Men boxers against women boxers. No!
I hope those men get their butts whupped.
I’m sure Mr. Rast will explain to the lesser minds on how this is acceptable. Or maybe just silence.
Thank you Suzanne for not capitulating with use of the ridiculous, stupid term: “biological male.” As you know, all males are biological males. Just like all humans are biological humans. Use of the adjective in that manner is just a stupid attempt by some to support their dirty lies. Never tolerate it.
Well – Well – Well … (!!!)
Maybe(?), there’s a distinct reason why male boxers, and most other male athletes, get paid more than the female counterparts, possibly even in general amongst the greater society career wide, where men are just better // faster // stronger // basically possessing greater talent than women and, deservedly so command superior pay – benefits – accolades?!?!
Although, I’ll definitely give the ladies the edge and due respect to the SI Swimsuit competition as well as the Legends Football League. Cheers!
It’s time for Queer Olympics. It would get viewership. A sort of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not type of entertainment. Fun, but no credibility whatsoever.
Inclusion at its finest. Mentally ill men beating women.
Let’s not confuse mental illness with moral deficiency. These guys understand precisely what they are doing.
The Italian woman quit after 46 seconds. She was getting beaten senseless.
Ah, progressivism in action.
These Olympics are a freaking woke joke.
Oddly enough, the confused man is from a Muslim country.
I don’t find this odd at all. Muslim society abuses women all the time.
Sports, like elections, are healthier with robust competition. But both can be rigged..
Why does the so-called “Italian” woman have a Mexico label on her jersey?
Various videos and images show previous matches. This was an image from before the match with the Italian. -sd
I am totally disgusted with the ‘24 Olympics i.e. the last supper fiasco and women’s boxing definition of gender!
My support for the much anticipated Olympics is history!
