The Olympic boxing champion, Imane Khélif, has decided to address all the criticism and scandal that erupted during the Olympic Games.

Details: After her first bout at the Olympics against Italy’s Angela Carini, the fight lasted only 46 seconds, after which the Italian athlete was unable to continue.

A tremendous scandal followed, with Imane Khélif being falsely accused of being transgender. You can interpret this information as you wish, but it’s crucial to understand: a transgender person is someone who has undergone gender transition, whereas elevated testosterone levels are something entirely different.

The boxer faced criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, writer J.K. Rowling, and tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Now, Khélif herself has spoken out, addressing Musk in an interview with Clique, where she revealed that his attacks led to her mother being hospitalized.

Quote: “I would say you hate me, but you don’t even know me. I don’t even understand why you led this attack. You were cruel to me, cruel to my family, cruel to my mother. During that time, my mother was going to the hospital every day.

I cannot comprehend the behavior of people today. God is my guide; I am a practicing Muslim. I am a Muslim, an Arab woman, and I endured this moment. I hope to become even stronger in the future and return with greater motivation,” declared the Olympic champion.

Khélif added that such attacks had affected her deeply. She experienced panic and fear. However, the boxer was able to overcome it.

Reminder: The controversial Algerian boxer, accused of gender transition, became an Olympic champion. Recall that Helif defeated Angela Carini because of the opponent's refusal to fight the Algerian 46 seconds after the start of the fight. Then Imam beat Luca Hamori (Hungary), Janjaem Suwannapheng (Thailand) and Yang Liu in the final.
