The recent Olympic boxing matches featuring athletes with controversial gender eligibility statuses have ignited significant outrage. Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting defeated Uzbekistani Sitora Turdibekova, who was visibly emotional after the loss, while Algerian Imane Khelif's swift victory over Italian Angela Carini provoked similar reactions. Both Lin and Khelif had previously faced disqualifications from competitions for gender eligibility issues but were cleared to compete in the Olympics by the IOC. Critics, including former Olympians and political figures, condemned the IOC's decision, arguing that it exposes female athletes to unfair physical risks. A UN official expressed concern over the violence faced by female competitors, while commentators and public figures highlighted the implications for women's sports. The controversy reflects broader societal debates surrounding gender identity and fairness in competitive sports.
