Author JK Rowling has slammed the Head of the Safe Sport Unit at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday. • Rowling responded to a video posted by IOC Media where Kirsty Burrows discussed how the 2024 Paris Olympics is tackling mental health. • Burrows explained how the 2024 Paris Olympics offered “the most comprehensive package of mental health and safeguarding initiatives”. • The Harry Potter author criticised the video and labelled the IOC’s safeguarding “a joke”. • “A young female boxer has just had everything she’s worked and trained for snatched away because you allowed a male to get in the ring with her. You’re a disgrace, your ‘safeguarding’ is a joke and #Paris24 will be forever tarnished by the brutal injustice done to Carini,” she wrote. • On Thursday, Algeria’s Imane Khelif defeated Italy’s Angela Carini after just 46 seconds. • Carini decided to end the match in under a minute after taking several punches to the head by Khelif.
