Imane Khelif of Algeria wins her opening Olympic boxing bout.

Italian opponent Angela Carini of Italy quits after 46 seconds .

Carini says she quit because of intense pain in her nose after the opening punches.

The Algerian boxer was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing an unspecified gender eligibility test.

The IOC says it made eligibility decisions on boxers based on gender-related rules that applied at Rio de Janeiro Olympics .

Women boxers have been asked about Khelif and Lin 's decision to compete.

"Biologically and genetically, they are going to have more advantages," Caitlin Parker says.

"I don't agree with that being allowed, especially in combat sports as it can be incredibly dangerous," the Australian middleweight says.
