Italian boxer Angela Carini withdrew from her Olympic bout against Algerian Imane Khelif just 46 seconds into their Round of 16 match at the Paris Olympics 2024. Carini, injured by a powerful punch from Khelif, experienced severe pain and chose to end the fight early, collapsing in tears. Khelif's participation has sparked controversy due to past issues with gender eligibility rules, having failed a gender test before the 2023 World Championships. The incident has ignited a heated debate on social media regarding the inclusion of athletes with disputed gender eligibility in women's sports.
