@imaniek24: @imanekhelif10 in the Arab Sports Games, Algeria 2023 🇩🇿 Correspondent: “To whoever questioned Imane Khelif’s capabilities and deprived her of an international medal, today Imane Khelif makes a comeback, and thank God the IOC gave her justice. We never doubted you, you’re beyond the Arab Games. You’re an Olympic medal project.” Imane: “Thank God for blessing me in this bout. First of all, as you said, a happy comeback and a powerful return for me. First and foremost, I’d like to thank the Algerian people who stood by me during that ordeal, I’ll never forget that. To each Algerian stay-at-home mother, every woman and a little kid who encouraged me, every Algerian father, I tell them Imane Khelif is your daughter, I’m your sister, God bless you. As for this Arab Games competition, it wasn’t listed in my plan, and after not participating in the African Games, I decided to compete in these Arab Games, and for it to be the portal for the comeback of your champion (i.e. Imane 😄❤️).” Correspondent: “Honestly, Imane. Do you aspire to win a gold medal in Paris?” Imane: “You all know that I have participated in the previous Olympics and I placed fifth as a first participation in the Algerian women boxing. Of course I aspire now to win a medal. I don’t deny the efforts of my country. Also I must thank the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the IOC, and the Minister Abderrahmane Hammad who is an Olympic champion who helped me a lot. Also I’d like to thank foreign parties supporting Algeria, without mentioning names, God bless them. My country stood by me and supported me. I have the upcoming Paris Olympic Qualifiers that will be held in Dakar, Inshallah I will qualify. After the qualification, there will be plenty of time to do the due planning and training to snatch a gold medal as I always tell you. Because you can’t just plan on paper to win an Olympic medal. You should be crafty in order to win it. I will also make preparations in Paris with my team to realize my dream.” Correspondent: “You had a powerful comeback, you won the gold medal, and celebrated with a military salute.” Imane: “Of course, I’m like a soldier to my country. I will not say that this championship is weak. I’ll say it’s kind of not considered an international event. But I came back through it and it was the portal of my return.” Correspondent: “What about the African Championship?” Imane: “The IBA which took away my medal was discredited by the IOC, therefore I think the IBA cannot organize an African championship. Along with the motion of no confidence, the Olympic charter, as you all know, all international federations are under the IOC’s regulations. There is a new union that has corresponded with me. They informed me of their support of my decision and that they will be on my side. To be honest with the Algerian people and the State of Algeria, I see my future with the Algerian Boxing Federation that is supported by the IOC.” #ImaneKhelif #Imanies #إيمان_خليف
