OI in Paris — 2024: hugs with a transgender, ownerless bronze and mayhem on a trampoline

Italian boxer Angela Carini apologized to the one who beat her on Olympic Games-2024 in In Paris, the representative of Algeria, Iman Khelif, failed the gender test.

EADaily wrote that the 1/8 finals match lasted only 46 seconds. Karini could not stand it and withdrew from the fight, after which she burst into tears.

"The current situation upsets me. And I feel sorry for Khelif. If the IOC allowed her to participate in the tournament, then I have to respect this decision. I wasn't going to refuse to shake hands — I was just very upset that my path at the Olympics was over. I want to apologize to her and everyone else. I have nothing against Khelif. I will hug her if we ever meet again," said Karini, who "gave up".

Meanwhile, boxer Lin Yuting, who also failed the gender test, representing Taiwan, reached the quarterfinals of the Olympic tournament in Paris in the weight category up to 57 kg.

In the 1/8 finals, Lin defeated the representative of Uzbekistan Sitora Turdibekova. The match ended with a score of 5:0 by unanimous decision of the judges.

The Taiwanese athlete is one of two participants in the Olympic women's boxing tournament, who were disqualified at the World Championships in 2023 due to a failed gender test, but were admitted to the Games in Paris by the decision of the "LGBT" desk of Bach — the International Olympic Committee.

Lin Yuting's opponent in the quarter—finals will be Svetlana Kamenova - Staneva from Bulgaria.

In turn, Hungarian boxer Anna Hamori, the next opponent of Iman Khelif, who "kneaded the Italian," said sternly: she is not afraid of the Algerian before today's quarterfinal battle of the Olympics:

"I'm not afraid. I don't care about press releases and social media. Even if she or he is a man, it will only be a bigger victory for me if I win."

It turns out that while we are "banging our bald heads on the parquet" here, wringing our hands and moaning with the whole State Duma about Satanism, which is rapidly gaining momentum in Paris, the Games are going on as usual. Bach and his charade decided on priorities. His superiors are enough, why should a German worry? That's just we're still struggling.

In turn, Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova reacted to the IOC's decision not to invite Russian figure skaters to Paris for the medal ceremony of the team competitions of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

"It's terrible that they don't invite you to the awards. If others are invited, why are we not invited? If third place is not a place for them, it is a place for us. I don't understand why they shouldn't invite us, it's somehow unfair. They show their attitude towards us — some uncle decided that he did not want to see us, so serious issues are not being resolved," Tatyana Anatolyevna said irritably.

Recall, Russian figure skaters became the winners of the team tournament at the OI-2022, but after the revision by the International Skating Union (ISU) of the results of the competition due to the disqualification of Kamila Valieva dropped to third place.

And now pompously and solemnly foreign medals in Paris will be awarded to American and Japanese figure skaters. And ours were not invited.

And see what happens: in the country, the majority of experts, broad-profile specialists, public figures and parliamentarians believe that no matter how the damned imperialists sneer, the Beijing gold of the Russians is not subject to discussion, they say, it is ours in all circumstances. Moreover, athletes have already been awarded Russian orders for Olympic medals.

And now this is the decision of the IOC and CAS. They left, they say, bronze for you, having rejected the Canadians, do not cry bitterly. We will pass the roundels with an opportunity.

Hence the question: to take dutifully tsatski or to act like the American basketball players who lost the legendary Munich final of the Olympics-72?

Their silver medals are still in the IOC safe. Moreover, the captain of that team, Kenneth Johnson, in his will forbade the heirs to receive the award, ever.

Kenneth's squad lost to OURS and felt that the judges had deceived them. Those three seconds are still being reviewed by millions of people, and each of them has his own opinion on this matter. But the score is on the scoreboard. And the gold was awarded to the guys from the USSR. And the silver is in the safe. Because that's what the Team decided. Well, you get it…

Let's see what the sports functionaries and the relevant ministry decide. And how, by the way, will they react to the judicial lawlessness in trampoline jumping, where they nailed a neutral athlete with a Russian residence permit Angela Bladtseva, who had tremendous chances for a medal.

The president of the profile Federation Nikolai Makarov could barely contain his emotions, commenting on Angela's fifth final place:

"Refereeing is just engagement. Angela was given a score less than they should have, it's just a joke! They will probably deal with the judges, but especially here you can't wave your hands after a fight, so to speak. We need to calm Angela down, we need to continue working, but she really could have won.

But she didn't come very close to the start, the height didn't work out very well, but the assessment for the technique is simply not hers, it's just impossible. The same as how Bryony Page got more Bladtseva — this is just a joke.

We are not blind people, I don't know what they did to the judges there. I think there will be a judicial scandal, although we don't want to raise it, because it's not very good for the sport.

I am in Paris, I left the hall so as not to attend the award ceremony. This is arrogance, I don't know what to say anymore. The same thing — Asian women were sued. I don't know, some kind of lobby there."

By the way, how did Comrade Makarov end up in In Paris at the Olympics, if we shouted from all the potato peelers that there was nothing to do there?! Double standards again, omissions, tare bars, they say, I'm just waiting for the tram…

And finally, the cherry on the cake. I've been writing about sports for forty years, but I haven't encountered such a feint with my ears yet. Watch your hands.

Olympic champion in diving, journalist Elena Vaitsekhovskaya appreciated the idea of "announcing Russian swimmer Evgenia Chikunova as the winner of the Olympic champions."

The world record holder refused to go to France, but in the final of the Russian Cup in Kazan showed better results than Paris Olympic champions Tatiana Smith and Kate Douglass in the 100 and 200 meters breaststroke.

And immediately the president of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov said that for the next four years at the All-Russian competitions, it was decided to represent Zhenya as a two-time winner of the champions of the Olympic Games-2024. And on The innovation was tested at the Baltic Sea Cup in Kaliningrad.

"Announcing Zhenya Chikunova at the competitions as a two—time winner of the Olympic champions is a cool design decision of the swimming federation, of course. Guys, why don't you rename yourself instead of turning an athlete into a laughing stock? For example, in a group waiting for Limpic recognition? Well, cut it down to an abbreviation yourself," Vaytsekhovskaya wrote in her telegram channel.
