“Robbery!” Another uproar over “male” boxer
There is once again great excitement surrounding a "male" boxer at the Olympics: after the defeat of Bulgarian Svetlana Staneva against Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, her coach spoke of a "manipulated" fight. Apparently he even wanted Staneva to give up.
On Sunday, Lin celebrated a victory over Staneva in the quarter-finals (up to 57 kg). This secured her an Olympic medal. There was great excitement after the fight. "I am XX. Save women's boxing," was written on a sign that Georgiev, Staneva's coach, held in the direction of the journalists. There is even talk that he wanted his boxer to give up the fight early.
Serious accusations
"It was an absolutely manipulated fight! We should have clearly won the fight. But the judges did what they were supposed to do. As long as someone has the support of the IOC, she will be helped from all sides," scolded Staneva. Postscript: "It was pure robbery!"
Georgiev was "outraged by the fair being held here". In his opinion, it was "predetermined" that Lin and Algerian Imane Khelif would become Olympic champions. They were found to have both an X and a Y chromosome. Women typically have two X chromosomes (XX), men one X and one Y chromosome (XY).
