Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has landed in the middle of a divide about gender in sports after her Italian competitor, Angela Carini, pulled out seconds into their bout at the Paris Olympics. Khelif has fought at numerous major amateur boxing tournaments over the past six years, including the Tokyo Olympics. She’s a formidable athlete with respected fighting skills. She’s even won a few regional gold medals, according to The AP.
Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing unspecified and untransparent eligibility tests for women’s competition from the now-banned International Boxing Association, The AP says.
Khelif was assigned female at birth and it says so on her passport, which is the International Olympic Committee’s threshold for eligibility for boxing because of the rift between the sport’s governing body and the IOC.
