Villepinte (France), Aug 3:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Algerian boxer Imane Khelif takes to the ring at the Paris Olympics again Saturday following days of sharp scrutiny and online abuse as misconceptions about her gender have exploded into a larger clash about identity in sports. Khelif meets Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary, whose boxing association planned to contest the matchup with the International Olympic Committee but still let the fight go ahead, in a quarterfinal in the women's 66-kilogram quarterfinals. If Khelif wins, the veteran amateur will secure the seventh Olympic boxing medal in Algeria's history, its first since 2000 and the nation's first ever in women's boxing.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Angela Carini Apologises to Imane Khelif Amid Gender Row at Paris Olympics 2024, Says 슬롯사이트˜I Am Sorry For My Opponent슬롯사이트�슬롯사이트�.
Khelif won her opening bout Thursday when opponent Angela Carini of Italy tearfully abandoned the fight after just 46 seconds. The unusual ending became a sharp wedge to drive into an already prominent divide over gender identity and regulations in sports, drawing comments from the likes of former U.S. President Donald Trump, 슬롯사이트œHarry Potter슬롯사이트� writer J.K. Rowling and others falsely claiming Khelif was a man or transgender.
At a Paris Games that has championed inclusion and seen other outcry over an opening ceremony performance featuring drag queens, LGBTQ+ groups say the hateful comments could pose dangers to their community and female athletes.
IOC President Thomas Bach on Saturday defended Khelif and fellow boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan. Khelif and Lin were disqualified in the middle of last year's world championships by the International Boxing Association, the now-banned former governing body of Olympic boxing, after what it claimed were failed eligibility tests for the women's competition.
Both had competed in IBA events for several years without problems, and the Russian-dominated body 슬롯사이트� which has faced years of clashes with the IOC over judging scandals, leadership decisions and financial issues 슬롯사이트� has refused to provide any information about the tests, underscoring its lack of transparency in nearly every aspect of its dealings, particularly in recent years.
슬롯사이트œLet's be very clear here: We are talking about women's boxing,슬롯사이트� Bach said Saturday. 슬롯사이트œWe have two boxers who are born as a woman, who have been raised a woman, who have a passport as a woman, and who have competed for many years as women. And this is the clear definition of a woman. There was never any doubt about them being a woman.슬롯사이트�
The IBA, which received the unprecedented punishment of being banned from Olympic participation in 2019 following years of conflict with the IOC, disqualified Khelif last year for what it said were elevated levels of testosterone.
The IBA, which is led by an acquaintance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has not released more details on the tests, calling the process confidential.
슬롯사이트œWhat we see now is that some want to own the definition of who is a woman,슬롯사이트� Bach added. 슬롯사이트œAnd there I can only invite them to come up with a scientific-based new definition of who is a woman, and how can somebody being born, raised, competed and having a passport as a woman cannot be considered a woman?
슬롯사이트œIf they are coming up with something, we are ready to listen,슬롯사이트� Bach added. "We are ready to look into it, but we will not take part in a sometimes politically motivated cultural war.슬롯사이트�
Khelif is fighting for a chance to clinch at least a bronze medal in her second Olympics after failing to medal at the Tokyo Games held in 2021. Lin, also a two-time Olympian, will clinch her first medal Sunday if she beats Svetlana Staneva of Bulgaria. Lin won her opening bout Friday comfortably over Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova.
Amid the scrutiny, both Khelif and Lin have received only cheers from the crowds at North Paris Arena. 슬롯사이트œWhat is going on in this context in the social media, with all this hate speech, with all this aggression and abuse, and fueled by this agenda, is totally unacceptable,슬롯사이트� Bach said.
The reduced field at the Paris Olympics boxing tournament 슬롯사이트� which has the fewest number of total boxers since 1956 슬롯사이트� means that many fighters can clinch medals with just two victories. Boxing awards two bronze medals in each weight class, which means every semifinalist wins a medal.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Algeria's Imane Khelif: Why Sex, Gender Aren't Binary Issues.
