Female athletes of color have historically faced disproportionate scrutiny and discrimination when it comes to sex testing and false accusations that they are male or transgender. Since the Tokyo Games in 2021, track’s World Athletics tightened the eligibility rules for female athletes with DSD conditions. Male athletes are not required to regulate their natural levels of testosterone, and female athletes who do not have DSD conditions also can benefit. In this dysfunction, boxing eligibility rules have not kept pace with other sports, and the issues weren’t addressed ahead of the Paris Games. She challenged track and field’s initial testosterone rules passed in 2011 as a reaction to Semenya.

Villepinte, France AP —Imane Khelif of Algeria won her opening Olympic boxing bout Thursday when opponent Angela Carini of Italy quit after just 46 seconds. Carini and Khelif exchanged only a few punches before Carini walked away and abandoned the bout — an extremely unusual occurrence in Olympic boxing. They were allowed to compete in Paris by the IOC task force, which has run the past two Olympic boxing tournaments. Olympic boxing reached gender parity for the first time this year, with 124 men and 124 women competing in Paris. Several sports have updated their gender rules over the past three years, including World Aquatics, World Athletics and the International Cycling Union.

meet team usaSimone Biles after competing in the vault during the gymnastics qualification rounds in Paris on Sunday. Simone Biles has 37 Olympic and world championship medals, surpassing by several medals a record that Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union held for nearly 60 years. Biles, who took a short break from gymnastics after winning the all-around title at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, took a longer one after Tokyo. Biles has the potential to qualify for all six finals, and she is either the favorite or a strong contender in five. In Tuesday’s team final, Biles is scheduled to compete on the balance beam, the uneven bars, the vault and in the floor exercise.

“We’re going to have more rhythm; we’re going to have more confidence.”Joy has been in short supply the last two weeks. The U.S. team came into the World Cup as the favorite to win it, but it is far from living up to its potential. In many ways, it has been the worst showing of the United States ever at this tournament. In this edition of the World Cup, the United States has looked anything but invincible. The teams have met six times at the World Cup, and in every edition since 2007.

Wallace was originally suspended by the Brazilian Olympic Committee's Ethics Commission (CECOB) for a year from representing the Brazil national team and for 90 days from national competitions. Yet the sanction was increased on Tuesday after he played for his club Cruzeiro in last Sunday's Super League final. He later deleted the post and uploaded a video apologising, saying he would never suggest violence or hatred towards anyone and calling the post a mistake. If it really happens, theoretically it's over for me," Wallace told local media outlet Globo on Friday. The CECOB, however, dismissed those decisions and increased the ban after Wallace took part in the match.
