Imane Khelif's Olympic Victory Sparks Gender Debate

Algeria's Khelif Wins Bout After Opponent Quits

Controversial Issue Raises Questions About Gender in Sports

PARIS, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Imane Khelif of Algeria has sparked a debate about gender in sports after winning her first Olympic boxing bout when her opponent, Angela Carini of Italy, quit after only 46 seconds. Khelif, who is transgender, has faced scrutiny about her eligibility to compete in women's boxing, raising questions about the fairness and inclusivity of the sport.

The incident has brought the contentious issue of gender in sports to the forefront, prompting discussions about the criteria for determining an athlete's gender identity and the potential implications for competition. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has faced criticism for its handling of the issue, with some accusing it of favoring inclusivity over fairness.
