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.
