iman khalif, algerian champion.i have such a daughter, i am very proud, she is a champion and i hope that she will win a medal in paris, this is our official family document may 2, 1999 year, imankhalifa is a woman, it is written here, you can read, this document does not lie, it was registered in 1999. i can't win, he's a man. khalif is not the only taiwanese boxer line to participate in the olympic games, but just like the algerian athlete, she was recognized by the international boxing union as a biological male. in that statement it was written that both athletes did not meet the necessary criteria and therefore they had an advantage over other athletes. iman khalif is guaranteed to leave paris with a medal, but how much more hatred will she have to endure, because the games will not end soon. olympic officials. are concerned about the hatred towards the algerian boxer, the reason was the fact that she participates in the women's division, the very person because of whom the algerian athlete is hated is oumar kr

not like boxing, not like boxers iman khalif and lin yuting, who beat up girls, and are themselves biological men, the international boxing federation insists on this, both are striving for olympic medals and, as a result, good prize money. we see that according to the rule of an incorrectly acquired advantage, these people are aiming to be medalists and champions, and this is even more the key word, if you take those who compete with them, it's offensive, well and ... there is another opinion, what is the difference between the hills runner and boxers of indeterminate gender. they all chose girls as their opponents. i wonder why? is it because niki hills' personal best at a distance of 1,500 m is 3 minutes 55 seconds, and the worst of the men's results at the same one and a half kilometers is 3.40. it is a fact, biological men run faster than women. even in the 100-meter dash, the stronger sex brings the weaker almost a second. on the floor. the difference between the world records for women and men is 23 seconds. of course, the same is true for boxing, where the so-called khaliv and yuatin

justice at the games, never prevailed in the women's boxing tournament, transgenders from taiwan and iman khalifrom algeria. still rose for gold medals, but at the same time in paris there was also good, without any doubt, fifty -one-year-old yusuf dikkeci from turkey proved to everyone that you can take silver without special equipment, the main thing is to work, now, by the way, he is a hero of popular reels in social networks. egyptian fencer nada hafes, although she did not win in the end, fought in the tournament in the seventh month of pregnancy. the pool employee took out the swimming cap of the participant. from the bottom, although he was clearly inferior in physical fitness to any athlete. athletes set records, ended their professional careers, dedicated victories to their loved ones, and thanks to such cases, faith in true olympism still lives, who knows, maybe at the next start of the four-year period, the motto of pierre da coubertin will be fulfilled. at the games in paris, many were established olympic records of unique achievements, we will not go far here, ours. letvinovich beca

growing controversy at the olympics over the algerian boxer imane khalif, who is through to the quarterfinalsespite failing a gender eligibility test in another competition. hello. hundreds of mourners have attended funeral prayers at the state mosque in the qatari capital, doha, for the hamas political leader ismail haniyeh. his coffin, covered by the palestinian flag, has now been taken to a cemetery outside doha where he is being buried in a simple ceremony. let's speak to nomi bar yaacov, associate fellow at the british think tank chatham house and an expert in diplomacy in the middle east. thank you for your time today. what role is therefore diplomacy in the middle east and, perhaps more pertinently, is there space for diplomacy given the current climate? absolutely, there's always a place for diplomacy, especially in very difficult moments like this. diplomacy stretches to minimising the severity of potential attacks. it is very clear that iran, mykolaiv and odesa are going to launch a coordinated attack in syria and iraq. it is probably going to be larger than the attack on the 14th o

italian angeli karina had her nose broken not just by her rival, a transgender from algeria named iman khalifeased testosterone in the blood, but that doesn’t matter, you understand, the main thing is that he transgender and everything is allowed to him, on the contrary, he could have allowed him to participate, as a result, their fight ended in the forty-sixth second after khaliyev’s blow, but... it turns out that now nothing prevents a transgender person from participating in women’s sports. italian angela carini, live, live i mean, i couldn’t hold back my tears at all right in the ring, especially at the moment when the judge declared the winner, or the winner of this fight, the transgender khalifa. we have already seen the great passion of french president emmanuel macron for boxing, but as it turned out, communication with the country gives him no less joy. into the women's categories, and it's not about discrimination against someone, it's about protecting the rights of athletes who should be able to compete in the early stages, it's also a safety issue, i think it's necessary consider

algerian boxer iman khalif began her paris series with a victory after a controversial preparation toion from the 2023 world championships for failing iba testosterone tests, the algerian needed just 46 seconds to defeat italy's angela carini, who said... was too painful, her withdrawal from the fight was a gesture of maturity rather than capitulation. 30 seconds after the start of the fight, the italian had to adjust her helmet, but her return was short-lived, after which she left in tears. “i just wanted to get into the ring to fight,” karine told a journalist. i didn't give up, but the blows hurt too much and i said, “enough is enough, giving in was a gesture of maturity, not capitulation.” i stopped because i felt severe pain. i got a very strong blow to the nose, that’s all, at that moment i was just thinking about my father, that he was in the ring with me. i somehow coped with the first two blows, but the next one hit me right in the nose, and i realized that i could no longer continue, i realized that i was injured and simply could not continue. testosterone levels in the so-c

algeria's iman khalif and taiwan's lin yuting were disqualified from the world boxing championships justbut now they're in paris shaking the souls out of their hapless opponents. it is thanks to the trans and lgbt movements that mok worships radical gender theory, which is why we get absurd statements from rep. mok like this? there was some confusion that supposedly here a man is fighting with a woman, but in reality this is not so, this is scientifically proven, from a scientific point of view. to the whole world, that for gender equality , protecting women, and then destroying women’s sports, we should not allow this, if we remain silent now, this will become the norm. we are simply being forced to accept the fact that olympic athletes who have failed a gender identity test are allowed to beat up women in the boxing ring at the paris olympics and if you dispute this, then according to some, you are simply a bigot. on the contrary, you simply have to ignore the evidence that is in front of our eyes. on what planet is this behavior fair towards women? once upon a time , there was a time

terms and fines of £200,000 if paris, paris 2024 olympics boxer imane khelif wins her criminal cyberbullying lawsuit against them. khalifed musk and rowling among high profile figures criticising her participation. she has filed a lawsuit with french authorities. important that bit for acts of aggravated cyber harassment and more famous names could be targeted, right? as i said, i've got my naughty lady panel here. political commentator emma burnell and gb news. contributor claire pearsall. now this is not going away. i would rather be sitting here talking about the amazing feats we've seen at the olympics and paralympics are coming up, i believe , on the 28th of august believe, on the 28th of august starting, but once again, we are talking about the gender biological sex row. clare the fact that imani is suing elon musk, j.k. rowling and potentially donald trump takes some believing. well, they have a few bob to defend themselves. >> yes. i mean, it's quite some feat, isn't it, to name them in lawsuits . you sort of look at it lawsuits. you sort of look at it and you think £200,000 to somebody like elon musk is just sor
