He stayed strong throughout the competition, until he won the gold medal. Crowned in the under 66 kg category during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was the victim of a cyber attack campaign. Many Internet users accused him of being a man. He spoke on this topic in the Canal + show Clique.

Many people have also pointed the finger at him, such as Donald Trump, Giorgia Meloni, author JK Rowling or Elon Musk. The latter shared a post about it on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

“Elon Musk was one of the first people to attack me during this hate campaign,” the boxer told Clique. If you hate me, if you hate me, I don’t know you, I don’t even know why you made this plan against me. He was unfair to me, he was unfair to my family, to my mother. »

Imane Khelif also had great difficulty holding back her tears when talking about her mother: “During that time, my mother used to go to the hospital every day. I don’t understand why the world behaves like this these days. I refer to God, I am a practicing Muslim woman, as I told you, I am an Arab Muslim woman. And I won this stage. I hope to be stronger in the future and come back with more motivation. »
