LETS HEAR IT FOR FEMALE EQUALITY

Carini withdrew from the fight less than a minute into the opening round on Thursday

Carini (in blue) withdrew from the fight with Khelif (in red) less than a minute into the opening round on Thursday 

 

Angelina Carini is a female boxer, welterweight, on the Italian women's boxing team.  She had a bout yesterday with Imane Khelif, Algerian.  Carini was warning by her coach to NOT fight Khelif as "she" had failed a chromosome test for the 2023 World Championships.

Carini threw in the towel after 46 seconds.  

The Olympics defers to individual sports governing agencies to determine who they will let compete in what areas of sports.  At least for now.
