    “I have never felt a punch like this” could easily have meant that she has been able to take pain before but wasn’t able to this time. Presumably this is being translated from Italian.

    And, again, she doesn’t make it about her opponent being trans- if she is trans. So why are you making it about that?

    Also, maybe you should wait until after people win medals before you start screeching about trans women in sports.

    This is diversity. Diversity you apparently are not a fan of since you are trying to change the subject. Maybe you should ask yourself why that is.

      https://www.raiplay.it/video/2024/08/Olimpiadi-Parigi-2024---Carini-contro-Khelif-e-subito-sorpresa-01-08-2024-3df15cb3-01d9-453e-af00-f9b1bfd3f37e.html

      Here is the actual video with the super brief interview.

      She didn’t really say anything although she starts with “I am nobody, I am not a referee, to judge this match…” And she didn’t salute the adversary on the ring, for what is worth.

      All the “never been hit so hard” quotes seem to be paraphrased by paraphrases on Italian articles (who use quotes for sentences which are not quotes…).

      In the video when she removes mouth guard she seems to say something like “very bad” but I dunno…

      Edit: I have just found another interview, where she says that she stopped due to strong pain to the nose. The interview is also visible in this article. The same article reiterates that there is no substance to the claim the adversary is trans, and the current belief is simply the she has some intersex characteristics.
