PARIS : Lin Yu-ting, one of two boxers at the centre of a gender dispute at the Paris Olympics, said staying off social media and focusing on her sport had helped her cope with nearly two weeks of international headlines over her eligibility for the Games.
Algerian gender-row boxer Imane Khelif said that winning Paris Olympics gold on Friday was the perfect response to "attacks" and "bullying", and declared: "I am a woman like any other." Khelif comprehensively won the women's 66kg final at Roland Garros, having been the focus of intense scrutiny in the French capital in the past fortnight. Together with Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting, who fights in the 57kg women's final on Saturday, Khelif was disqualified from last year's world championships after they failed gender eligibility testing. However they were cleared to compete in Paris, setting the stage for one of the biggest controversies of the Games.
Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi held off one of the strongest fields in history to win the Olympic gold medal in the men's 800m, securing his country's fifth consecutive Olympic title in the event. The 20-year-old Wanyonyi blazed to a time of 1:41.19 seconds, making him the third-fastest man ever over the distance.
Paris Olympics boxing champion Imane Khelif, the Algerian at the centre of a gender eligibility row, has filed a legal complaint in France for online harassment, her lawyer said on Saturday. "The boxer Imane Khelif has decided to begin a new fight, a fight for justice, dignity and honour," Nabil Boudi said in a statement, saying Khelif had filed the complaint for "aggravated online harassment... to Paris prosecutors".
Lin Yu Ting, one of the boxers at the centre of a gender eligibility row, was crowned Olympic champion after beating Julia Szeremeta in the women’s 57kg final.
