Four years ago, we veered off course and lost our focus. We lost the strength that makes Americans who we are... A man can beat a woman and get a medal for it.

Recently, French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia published a medical report indicating that Khelif lacks a uterus, with internal testicles and a "micro penis" resembling an enlarged clitoris instead.

For context, Khelif became an Olympic champion in the 66 kg weight category in 2024, winning the final against China’s Yang Liu by unanimous decision.

In the round of 16, the 25-year-old Khelif defeated Italian Angela Carini, who chose not to continue fighting just 46 seconds into the first round. In the quarter-finals, Khelif triumphed over Hungary's Luca Anna Hamori, and in the semi-finals, she overcame Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng.
