Paris 2024 Olympics embroiled in gender row

The Paris Olympics has become embroiled in a gender row in boxing after Italian boxer Angela Carini pulled out of a bout mid-fight. On Aug. 1, 2024 Carini stepped out after she sustained a series of crushing blows from her Algerian opponent Imane Khelif, who last year failed a gender eligibility test at the World Championships. Khelif and Taiwan's double world champion Lin Yu-ting were cleared to fight in Paris after the IOC last year stripped the International Boxing Association (IBA) of its status as boxing's official body over governance issues, and took charge of the Paris 2024 boxing competition. Both Khelif and Lin had been disqualified at the 2023 World Championships after failing IBA eligibility rules that prevent athletes with male XY chromosomes from competing in women's events.
