The Spin

Sadly for women's boxing, the IOC was complicit in allowing genetically men to box against women — and unsurprisingly win all their bouts in unanimous decisions — in what was promoted as the first-ever gender-equal Olympics. Though Khelif is not trans, the Algerian has all advantages of being a male in the ring.

What is a woman seems not to be an easy question after all, and non-white athletes continue to suffer the most scrutiny and abuse.
