‘Sobbing’ Boxer Angela Carini Quits Match After 46 Seconds as Gender Debate Rages: Video

(Worthy Insights) – Angela Carini, a female boxer from Italy, withdrew from a boxing match at the Paris Olympics in just 46 seconds after taking a punch to the face from a competitor, Imane Khelif, who was disqualified from a previous competition over gender identity controversies, according to NBC News.

“This is unjust,” Carini said, according to The Toronto Sun. “Carini fell to her knees in the ring, sobbing,” Reuters reported.

“I am heartbroken,” Carini told reporters, according to The New York Times. “I went to the ring to honor my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior but I preferred to stop for my health. I have never felt a punch like this.”

She added, according to The Times: “I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up. But one punch hurt too much and so I said, ‘Enough.’ I’m going out with my head held high.” [ Source: Heavy (Read More…) ]

  1. This is totally irresponsible on the IOC . This guy was previously banned for failing basic testing . Khelif had XY chromosomes—a pair of chromosomes typically possessed by men. So sad and heartbreaking for Angela Carini ! This madness has to end .

  2. This is insane. Men who couldn’t win against other men suddenly say they are female and get to compete against women? A push to use the bathrooms in the gender of choice? What ever happened to common sense?
