Controversial gold medalist Imane Khelif fired off a terse message on Monday as the new Olympics chief called for "protecting" the female category to "ensure fairness."

Khelif, who faced questions about whether the fighter was eligible to compete in the women’s category during the 2024 Paris Olympics, fired off a quote commonly attributed to Winston Churchill after new International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry took her stance on protecting women.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts," Khelif captioned a post on the boxer’s Instagram Stories.

Coventry said Thursday that she had "overwhelming support" to make moves to protect the women’s category in the Olympics amid transgender athlete controversies that have plagued girls’ and women’s sports in the United States, Britain and Australia.

"We understand that there'll be differences depending on the sport … but it was very clear from the members that we have to protect the female category, first and foremost to ensure fairness," Coventry said. 

"But we need to do that with a scientific approach and the inclusion of the international federations who have already done a lot of work in this area."

The new president added that there is "unanimous" support for coming to an agreement about how to amend the policy and suggested the IOC may take inspiration from the World Athletics policy, which restricts biological males from competing in women's sports if those males have gone through male puberty. 

"It was very clear from the membership the discussion around this has to be done with medical and scientific research at the core, so we are looking at the facts and the nuances and the inclusion of the international federations that have done so much of this work … having a seat at table and sharing with us because every sport is different," she said.

"But it was pretty much unanimously felt that the IOC should take a leading role in bringing everyone together to try and find a broad consensus."

However, Coventry also said any changes likely wouldn't result in retroactively changing the results of past competitions that featured athletes with gender-eligibility questions. The 2024 Paris Olympics featured two boxers winning gold in the women's competition, despite previously failing gender-eligibility tests for international competitions.

Khelif’s medals would likely be safe even in the face of a medical test published in 3 Wire Sports in June that reignited the gender controversy around the boxer.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized a CNN report highlighting an app that alerts users to nearby Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sightings and warned the developer to "watch out."

The app, ICEBlock, was created by Joshua Aaron, who said he wanted to "do something to fight back" against the Trump administration’s deportations of illegal immigrants, which he likens to being reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Aaron told CNN that the app allows anonymous users to share where they’ve seen ICE agents. Users can also include additional details, such as the clothes agents are wearing or the cars they are driving.

"Our ICE agents, all of our federal agents who are working hand in hand on these task force[s] — our federal agents from the Justice Department could be injured," Bondi said Monday on "Hannity."

"He's giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are. And he cannot do that. And we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out, because that's not a protected speech. That is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country."

ICEBlock comes with a disclaimer, telling users not to interfere with the federal agency’s operations or to incite violence.

"Please note that the use of this app is for information and notification purposes only. It is not to be used for the purposes of inciting violence or interfering with law enforcement," the notification says, according to CNN.

News of the app and CNN’s coverage drew strong condemnation from the White House and top Trump administration officials, who say the app endangers federal officers by broadcasting their locations.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons said ICE agents and officers are already facing a 500% increase in assaults as the administration’s deportation efforts ramp up.

Border czar Tom Homan told "The Will Cain Show" that the app only makes law enforcement’s job more dangerous.

"It’s simply disgusting and any network that covers that is disgusting as well," said Homan.

Bondi also criticized CNN for "promoting" the app, doubling down on her argument that it could endanger law enforcement officers.

"Shame on them," she told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

A CNN spokesperson defended the network’s coverage and reporting, telling Fox News Digital in a statement: "CNN reported on a publicly available app, which is generating attention across the United States, and reached out to ICE for comment prior to publication. After CNN published its reporting, ICE posted a response, which is now included in the story."
