Olympic boxer Imane Khelif says the wave of hateful scrutiny she has faced over misconceptions about her gender “harms human dignity” and is calling for an end to the bullying of athletes after being greatly affected by the international backlash against her. The Algerian athlete spoke about her tumultuous Olympic experience on Sunday night in an interview with SNTV, a sports video partner of The Associated Press.
She expressed gratitude to the International Olympic Committee and its president, Thomas Bach, for standing behind her. “I know that the Olympic Committee has done me justice, and I am happy with this remedy because it shows the truth,” she said. She will fight again Tuesday in the women’s 66-kilogram semifinals at Roland Garros. Khelif says she won’t allow chatter to deter her from attempting to claim Algeria’s first Olympic gold medal in women’s boxing.
