IBA is to award Angela Carini of Italy with Olympic champion prize money

I mean, good for her I suppose, but here's the deal She knew the dude was a dude, she went in with a losing mindset, got hit once then quit immediately.

did she 'take one for the team' to bring worldwide attention to this BS?
I suppose that is possible, if you think of it in that way
