Google released its data for most-searched athlete of 2024, and boxer Imane Khelif was No. 1 ahead of iconic American athletes Simone Biles and Mike Tyson.
Imane Kehlif, a Tunisian boxer, has become the most Googled athlete of 2024 due to a significant gender controversy surrounding her participation in the Olympic boxing qualifiers. Kehlif, who identifies as female, was born male and has not undergone gender reassignment surgery, which has led to debates about fairness in women's sports. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) allows transgender athletes to compete without surgery, focusing instead on testosterone levels. This policy has sparked discussions on the balance between inclusivity and competitive equity, with critics arguing that Kehlif's physical advantages from her male biology could unfairly impact female competitors. The controversy has not only dominated online searches but also highlighted broader issues of transgender participation in sports, with some nations like Canada and the UK expressing concerns over the IOC's guidelines.
