Imane Khelif Advances to Olympic Boxing Final with 5-0 Decision Amid Gender Controversy, Final on August 9
Aug 6, 2024, 09:14 PM
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has advanced to the final of the women's 66kg boxing category at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Khelif, who was previously disqualified from the women's World Championships in 2023 due to having male XY chromosomes, has been at the center of a gender controversy. Despite the scrutiny and backlash, she has called for an end to bullying and emphasized her determination to win an Olympic gold medal as a response to her critics. Khelif defeated Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng in the semifinals with a unanimous 5-0 judges decision, securing her place in the final where she will compete against China's Yang Liu on August 9. The controversy surrounding her eligibility has sparked a broader debate on gender in sports, but Khelif remains focused on her performance and representing Algeria.
