    Finally! Following The Olympic Boxer’s Gender Dilemma, Imane Khelif’s Father Speaks Out

    The Italian boxer Angela Carini, who was to fight Imane Khelif of Algeria, pulled out of their contest at the Paris Olympics in 2024, causing a scandal.

    Khelif was born a woman and identifies as a woman, but her involvement has stirred up a lot of debate.

    It’s her father, at last, speaking.

    On August 1, Khelif’s boxing match against Carini came to an unexpected end when the Italian fighter exited the ring early, citing “severe pain” in her nose.

    This unexpected change of events led to Khelif being declared the automatic winner, as described earlier. But some argue that she shouldn’t compete alongside female competitors after her previous disqualification from the 2023 world championships due to high testosterone levels.

    Amar Khelif, who is proud of his 25-year-old daughter’s accomplishments, talked to Reuters in support of her. It is a privilege to have a daughter like her since she is a champion. She gave me honor, and I support her. He remarked, “I hope she wins the medal in Paris. “Imane is a young girl who has been passionate about sports since she was six years old.”

    In response to skepticism regarding her gender, Amar Khelif produced what Reuters called a “formal-looking document.” “This is the official family document, dated May 2, 1999, for Imane Khelif, a female,” he said. It’s written down here for you to read. This text is truthful.

    CNN reports that Carini formally apologized to Khelif on August 2 in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, following the controversy. “I apologize to my rival. I respect the IOC’s decision if it states that she can fight,” Carini remarked. “I had no intention of doing it. I really do want to apologize to her and to all of you. I was upset because I had failed miserably at the Olympics.

    In response, Khelif herself called on the public to stop harassing athletes. She stated, “It can destroy people, it can kill people’s thoughts, spirit, and mind,” in an interview with SNTV. It has the power to separate individuals. I therefore ask that they not engage in bullying.

    Khelif’s story highlights the ongoing challenges encountered by athletes who perform in front of a public and under observation, regardless of the controversy surrounding it. The significance of empathy and respect in sports is emphasized by both her father’s support and her personal appeal for compassion.

    Khelif isn’t allowing the debate get in the way of her goal of winning the Olympics and inspiring pride in her family and country. It hasn’t been an easy journey, but she intends to get over the challenges and continue being a champion with her father’s help and her own perseverance.
