Tennis legend Martina Navratilova only needed one acronym in response to Olympic boxing gold medalist Imane Khelif receiving votes for the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year award.
Khelif was in a firestorm throughout the Olympics after it was learned the Algerian fighter failed a gender test in the run-up to the Paris Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) maintained that Khelif met all the requirements to compete and eventually won the gold medal.

Khelif finished third in the voting, receiving four votes. Caitlin Clark won the award and Simone Biles was second.
Navratilova, who has been a staunch advocate for protecting women’s sports, reacted in a post on X.
“Wtaf???” she wrote, which means “what the actual f—.”
Khelif qualified for the Paris Olympics, but Khelif’s gender was called into question following a disqualification from the 2023 championships before a gold medal bout over gender eligibility issues.
