Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan advanced to the women's featherweight gold medal bout at the Paris 2024 Olympics after defeating Turkey's Esra Yildiz Kahraman with a 5-0 unanimous decision in the semi-finals. The victory sets up a final match against Poland’s Julia Szeremeta on August 10th. Lin's advancement comes amid a gender controversy, as she had previously failed a sex test before the World Championships but was permitted to compete in the Olympics. Following her loss, Kahraman made an 'X' gesture, symbolizing female XX chromosomes, highlighting the ongoing debate over gender in sports. Lin joins Algeria’s Imane Khelif in advancing to the gold medal fight.
