Sarah Ourahmoune Withdraws from French Boxing Federation Election Amid Racist and Sexist Abuse

The Olympic medalist cited a barrage of offensive attacks as the reason for stepping down from her candidacy in the upcoming federation elections.

Sarah Ourahmoune, a silver medalist at the 2016 Olympics, announced her withdrawal from the French Boxing Federation's co-presidency race due to targeted racist and sexist insults.
The abuse included derogatory terms such as 'token Arab' and 'cleaning lady of the federation,' which Ourahmoune highlighted in an open letter and social media posts.
Ourahmoune was running alongside current president Dominique Nato, while another candidate, Estelle Mossely, also vies for the position.
Estelle Mossely, Ourahmoune's rival in the election, expressed support and encouraged her to take legal action against the perpetrators.
The French Boxing Federation elections are scheduled for December 14, with Dominique Nato continuing his candidacy despite the controversy.
