As that comes to light, the boxer has broken her silence.

In an interview with El Birad, Khelif admitted she was ‘hurt a lot’ by the all the chatter surrounding her gender at the Olympics.

„But immediately after there was a big uproar from big politicians around the world, athletes around the world, and even artists and stars, Elon Musk, Trump.. this thing….. that affected me,” she told the Algerian-based news channel.

„I am not lying to you, it affected me. It affected me a lot, hurt me a lot. I can’t describe to you the amount of fear I had.”

She added: „The scenario was very scary. Thank god, all the people of Algeria and the Arab world knew Imane Khelif with her femininity, her courage, her will.
