Carini, visibly distressed, discarded her helmet and exited the ring just 46 seconds into the fight, declaring the situation as “unjust” and expressing her frustration at the perceived inequity.

This incident has sparked a global conversation about the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports categories, raising concerns about the balance between inclusivity and fairness in competitive environments.

The reaction from the international community reflects a deep divide over how to address such complex issues in sports.

As the discussion continues, the Olympic Committee may face increasing scrutiny regarding their policies and how they handle these sensitive and challenging situations.

France head coach Didier Deschamps has thrown his full support behind Ousmane Dembélé as a top contender for this year’s Ballon d’Or. Speaking ahead of their UEFA Nations League semi-final clash with Spain—a team featuring another strong candidate, Lamine Yamal—Deschamps praised Dembélé’s incredible season.

Just days ago, Dembélé helped Paris Saint-Germain lift the Champions League trophy and was crowned Player of the Season. The win capped off a historic campaign for PSG, who also clinched the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France to complete a remarkable Treble.

Deschamps said, “The Nations League and even the Club World Cup could still shape opinions, but if I had to pick right now, it’s Ousmane—no doubt. Ask the Spanish, they’ll likely back their own, but for me, with the season he’s had, Ousmane deserves it.”
