The parents on the IOC, nonetheless, allowed immediately’s bout to go on. Prepare for the backlash, is just about all we will say at this level.

Ladies agreeing to compete towards MEN is a part of the issue.
If feminine athletes had any spine they might boycott any and all competitions that permit males towards ladies.
Imane Khelif a MAN.
HE is a mediocre male athlete who solely made it to the Olympics by beating up ladies. https://t.co/Rz6AX5uF4D
