Video Imane Khalef Vs Angela Carini
“We have to pay attention, in an attempt to not discriminate, that we’re actually discriminating” against women, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told reporters during a visit to the Olympic Village. “In these things what counts is your dedication, your head and character, but it also counts having a parity of arms.”
Ismaël Bennacer, who plays soccer for the Algerian national team, was among those who defended Khelif.
“Full support for our champion Imane Khelif, who is suffering a wave of unjustified hatred,” he wrote on X. “Her presence at the Olympic Games is simply the result of her talent and hard work.”

Khelif celebrated her win on social media, sharing a photo of herself from Thursday’s fight on Instagram and writing, “first Victory.” She did not address the criticisms in the post; she has said her disqualification from the world championships last year was a “conspiracy.”
The Algerian Olympic and Sports Committee did not respond to a request for comment about the criticisms surrounding Khelif’s win.
Abderrahmane Hammad, Algeria’s minister of youth and sports, addressed concerns over Khelif’s gender identity Wednesday.
“I strongly condemn the baseless attacks on our athlete, Imane Khelif, by certain foreign outlets,” he wrote on X. “These cowardly attempts to tarnish her reputation are utterly unacceptable.”
In a series of posts on social media Thursday, the Algerian Olympic and Sports Committee celebrated Khelif’s win.
“We are proud of you and look forward to seeing you shine even more in the next stages,” one of the translated Facebook posts said.
Khelif’s next match is against Hungary’s Luca Anna Hamori in Saturday’s women’s 66-kilogram quarterfinals.
