The recent Olympic boxing controversy surrounding Algiers' Imane Khelif highlights systemic failures in the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) management, particularly regarding gender identity issues. After her victory over Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori, Khelif endured intense scrutiny and accusations of illegitimacy simply based on her gender identity. Despite clear evidence affirming her female identity, the media frenzy and political tensions threaten to overshadow her achievements and potentially lead to future controversies in Olympic boxing. The IOC's inability to foresee this situation and address gender fairness is a significant mismanagement issue that could plague the upcoming 2028 Olympics.
