A gesture of X made
A gesture of X made by female boxers on the biggest sporting stage...the Olympics is pushing a controversy further into limelight. This gesture was made by Esra Yildiz Kahraman of Turkey after she lost to Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting in 57 kg category. And before her it was made by Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Kamenova Staneva in the quarter-finals. She also lost her bout to the Taiwanese boxer. What does this X mean? Why are the losing female boxers using it? What is the message they want tosend across. Some believe...they are making the sign of double X....for XX chromosomes that are believed to be the basis of female gender. In most cases, males have both an X and Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, twice world champion, and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif have been in the spotlight at the Olympics over a gender row that has dominated headlines and been the subject of much discussion on social media platforms. The gender furore ignited when Khelif defeated Angela Carini in 46 seconds in her opening bout in the French capital, the Italian reduced to tears and abandoning the fight after suffering a badly hurt nose.
A day after Khelif reached the 66kg women's gold-medal match, Lin claimed a unanimous points decision victory over Esra Yildiz Kahraman at 57kg in her semi-final. Kahraman declined to say afterwards what it meant.
