The battle between Imane Khelif and Angela Carini has prompted reactions and not only in Paris. The Italian decided to retire after 47 seconds after receiving a second blow to the face. “It’s not fair,” he told his team Carina just after raising his hand, thus ending his participation in the Olympic Games.
A new chapter in the controversy that has already generated the entry of athletes Lin Yu-Ping and Imane Khelif, who missed the World Cup because of their high testosterone levels. Both Khelif and Ping have XY chromosomes, instead of two X chromosomes like other competitors.
The picture of Carinawho started as one of the favorites in the Olympic tournament, the cry after the match quickly went viral and the reactions did not last long.
Elon Musk, owner of X, expressed his opinion through the social network. The entrepreneur responded to a tweet from swimmer Riley Gaines, which always talks about “saving women’s sports from transgender athletes.” Last year, Gaines was attacked at San Francisco State University after giving a lecture.
“Men don’t belong in women’s sports. Let’s go viral. #IStandWithAngelaCarini,” the American wrote. A message that received the approval of Musk, who replied with one word: “Absolutely.”
