Algerian boxer Imane Khelif clinches gold medal despite unwarranted gender criticism


Algerian Imane Khelif won the welterweight gold at Roland-Garros Stadium, cheered by a large Algerian crowd. Opponents had wrongly questioned her gender, but Khelif won in a unanimous decision, with her supporters chanting her name. She thanked her fans and coach for their support. Khelif prepared for eight years for this victory, which was celebrated in Algeria by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The victory was seen as a medal of honor for Algeria. Khelif and another boxer, Lin Yu-Ting of Chinese Taipei, had faced controversy due to allegations about their gender by the International Boxing Association, but both boxers were declared eligible to compete by the IOC. Khelif’s father and Lin have both defended their gender identities. The IBA, financially supported by Gazprom, has faced criticism over its handling of the situation. The topic was discussed at the United Nations, with Russian and Algerian diplomats providing differing views. Khelif’s victory was seen as historic and a source of pride for Algeria.
