The International Olympic Committee defended its decision to allow two female boxers—Algeria’s Imane Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting—to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics and criticized conservatives for the “abuse” hurled at the pair after they went viral online.
The situation gained international scrutiny on Thursday after Italy’s Angela Carini tapped out of a match with Khelif after only 46 seconds, exclaiming “it’s not fair” after a particularly hard hit from her Algerian opponent.
