Algerian Imane Khelif moved past Angela Carini when the Italian abandoned their 66kg fight after 46 seconds in the first round on Thursday.
Khelif has been in the spotlight since she was disqualified just hours before the gold medal match at the 2023 world championships for failing International Boxing Association (IBA) eligibility rules that prevent athletes with XY chromosomes from competing in women’s events. She was ruled eligible, however, to compete in Paris, a competition run by the International Olympic Committee.
