In the quarterfinals for women’s 66 kg, she competed against Anna Luca Hamori. Her triumph against Angela Carini of Italy in the round of 16 earlier this week was accompanied with controversy.
The contest was eventually abandoned by the Italian after 46 seconds. Not being able to fulfill the gender eligibility requirement prevented Khelif and another Olympic fighter from competing in the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championships.
She was disqualified from competing in IBO competitions on the grounds that her testosterone levels were too high, according to the organization.
Despite this, the IOC supported her participation in the games and expressed its “saddened” response to the abuse she has endured.
A medal is within reach for Imane Khelif. According to Eurosport, Imane Khelif is now in the medal hunt. Khelif has always identified as a woman, according to Eurosport. She has never said she is transgender, intersex, non-binary, or a guy.
