Olympic Injustice to Women at Games: Khelif-Carini's Boxing Match Fuels Big Debate

#Gravitas | Italian boxer Angela Carini's decision to pull out of the boxing match with Algerian opponent Imane Khelif mid-fight has sparked a big debate on gender eligibility at the Olympics. Khelif, whose participation in the Games was permitted by the IOC and had divided boxers, was able to defeat Carini within the first 46 seconds, prompting severe criticism and fake news to circulate around Khelif's gender. She had failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships, fuelling the criticism against her. While some called her "trans" and "biological male", others asked whether the rules of eligibility should change. If sports is about fair play, then who should be blamed for the injustice that both women faced at the Olympics.
