WNBA star Caitlin Clark <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ap-female-athlete-of-year-clark-7e5aa066120ee2b1f85b6ab1098b7a8d">won</a> The Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year with 35 total votes, and Olympic gold-winning gymnast Simone Biles came in second, but another nominated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/female-sports">athlete,</a> who came in third with four votes, is stirring up controversy due to questions about gender. 
Imane Khelif is an Olympic gold medalist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/boxing">boxer</a> from Algeria who had failed past <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gender">gender</a> tests — per the IBA — and was later allegedly proven to be a biological male, according to a French journalist who obtained a medical report, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tonight-was-my-revenge-female-boxer-wins-title-after-olympics-gender-controversy">reported</a>.
IBA President Umar Kremlev said the boxer has “XY chromosomes.” The boxer was allowed by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to compete against biological women in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Olympics formally cut ties with the IBA, which the IOC now dismisses as “not credible,” and allows boxers to compete based on the gender listed on their passports rather than enforcing any gender-related testing.
Female boxer Angela Carini forfeited her scheduled bout in the Olympics against Khelif in Paris, saying “one punch hurt too much” and that she “had never felt a punch like this.” 
Carini later won the 2024 Italian women’s title for boxing after being forced to fight Khelif at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 
Many social media users reacted to Khelif getting four votes from the AP panel, with one person <a href="https://x.com/pamadkisson/status/1872060965703106606">calling it </a>“disgusting.” 
“That’s not a female. We all know it,” another reply <a href="https://x.com/kateiswell/status/1872058982665474454">said</a>. 
“Khelif still has XY chromosomes. These are facts,” <a href="https://x.com/Bubblebathgirl/status/1872088551762149549">echoed</a> a third.
Talk show host Piers Morgan said in August that Khelif being named the women’s champion in Paris a “travesty.”
“From Emmeline Pankhurst to this … where are the world’s feminists now, as women’s hard-fought rights get so shamefully destroyed?” Morgan’s <a href="https://x.com/piersmorgan/status/1822023148646363464">post</a> on X read.
“BREAKING: A biological male just won an Olympic Gold medal in a women’s boxing competition. Congrats to everyone who supported this travesty,” he added.

Khelif is currently taking legal action over media reports on the leaked medical records from the French journalist.
