Martina Navratilova's brutal one-word verdict on Olympics gender row boxer Imane Khelif winning female sports award Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has delivered a scathing one-word verdict on Imane Khelif taking third place in the Associated Press' Female Athlete of the Year award.

The AP's journalists and members sparked outrage earlier this week after giving the controversial Olympics boxer third place behind Caitlin Clark and Simone Biles.

But it sparked major controversy after the International Boxing Association said Khelif had been disqualified from last year's World Championships for failing gender eligibility criteria.

Despite the controversy that marred the Games, a group of 74 sports journalists from the AP and its members still voted to honor Khelif this week.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova delivered a scathing one-word verdict on the decision.
