The Paris 2024 Olympics have sparked intense controversy over gender eligibility in women's boxing, particularly involving Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting. Both athletes were previously disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for failing gender tests but were deemed eligible to compete by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which states their gender is based on their passports indicating they were born female. Italian boxer Angela Carini's decision to quit her bout against Khelif after 46 seconds, citing Khelif's strength, has reignited the debate, leading to misinformation and hateful comments falsely labeling Khelif as transgender. The IOC and Algerian Olympic Committee have condemned these attacks as unfair and based on lies. Meanwhile, commentators have come under fire for sexist remarks about female athletes, highlighting ongoing issues of sexism in sports coverage.
