Amar Khelif, the father of Algerian boxer Imane Helif, has come to his daughter's defense following a controversy at the Paris Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved her participation in the 2024 Games despite a failed testosterone test in 2023.
Amar Helif s🎉tated, as reported by Evening Standarﷺd:
The attacks against her are immoral, it is not fair. Imane is a little girl that has loved sports since she was six years old. Having such a daughter is an honor because she is a champion, she honored me and I encourage her and I hope she will get the medal in Paris.
On August 1, Khelif competed against Italian athlete Angela in the Round of 16. The match concluded just 46 secon🀅ds💖 after it started, as the Italian competitor withdrew in tears. Consequently, the victory was awarded to Imane Khelif. On August 2, Carini announced her retirement from sports.
