Olympic organizers are defending the right of Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics, despite being disqualified in the past for failing gender eligibility tests.
The International Olympic Committee criticized the disqualification of the athletes, stating it lacked proper procedure and fairness, considering their history of top-level competition.
Angela Carini of Italy withdrew from her match against Khelif, citing nose pain after punches dislodged her chinstrap and bloodied her shorts. Carini tearfully expressed not passing judgment on Khelif's participation.
