Beaver [she/her]There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
maegul (he/they)Don’t know if it’s being underreported, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it is … it seems the instigator is regretting the kindling of transphobia paranoia they ignited.
doltdealerShe wasn’t the instigator. People just said what they wanted to say. Her unsportsmanlike conduct was just the gap needed to wedge in some hate.
She definitely knew what she was doing. Carini is a policewoman with connections to the Italian alt right. She was paid 50k after the match by the IBA, the ones that disqualified Khelif in 2023 after winning the gold.
Goldmage263Why does this comment smell like a conspiracy theory? Will read article and delete if this is referenced.
There you have
Ty, definitely adds good context to the political rat behaviour. Looks like the Italian Boxing Federation won’t accept the offer, but that doesn’t say anything about Carini or her coach.

Italian Boxing Federation says it won't accept Olympic prize money offered by banned IBA
The Italian Boxing Federation says it will not accept any prize money from the banned International Boxing Association. IBA president Umar Kremlev had announced in a video that his organization wanted to give a $50,000 prize to Angela Carini, who tearfully quit her opening bout with Imane Khelif of Algeria at the Paris Olympics after just 46 seconds. Kremlev also said he intended to award $25,000 to Italy’s national federation and $25,000 to Carini’s coach after her dramatic opening-round exit against Khelif. The Italian federation didn’t say whether Carini or her coach planned to accept the money.
