JK Rowling said Thursday that Italy's
Angela Carini suffered a "brutal injustice" after she abandoned
her bout against Imane Khelif in the women's boxing at the Paris
2024 Olympics.
Carini's Algerian opponent was disqualified from last year's
women's boxing world championships for failing
gender-eligibility tests.
"A young female boxer has just had everything she's worked and
trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in
the ring with her," the Harry Potter author said via X.
"You're a disgrace, your 'safeguarding' is a joke and #Paris24
will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to
Carini.
"Could any picture sum up our new men's rights movement better?
The smirk of a male who's knows he's protected by a misogynist
sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he's
just punched in the head, and whose life's ambition he's just
shattered".
