The Olympics in Paris also stirred up emotions beyond the "woken" opening ceremony: How can a female boxer have very high testosterone levels and still fight as a woman? Are there also women with a Y chromosome?

The fight only lasted 46 seconds. The punching power of the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif (25) was simply too powerful. Her Italian opponent gave up, in tears. She had never been hit like that before. It was simply unfair, she criticized afterwards.
