Watch: Opponent snubs 'biological male' Khelif handshake

Imane Khelif’s Olympic journey in Paris began with controversy, as the Algerian boxer, previously disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to a failed gender eligibility test, was reinstated for the Games. In her opening bout, Italy's Angela Carini abruptly withdrew after 46 seconds, citing intense pain but sparking debate by refusing to shake Khelif's hand. Khelif, who has a disorder of sex development (DSD), continues her Olympic quest, with her next match potentially reigniting debates about her eligibility. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/hcJH8QI
