After Imane Khelif, Another Gender Row Hits Boxing At Paris Olympics 2024 Post Lin Yu-ting's Win
One of the boxers at the centre of a gender controversy at the Olympics comfortably reached the quarter-finals Friday, as fellow fighters and public figures weighed into the furore. Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting beat Sitora Turdibekova from Uzbekistan on a unanimous points decision in the women's 57kg class in her opening bout in Paris. The 28-year-old Lin is embroiled in a political punch-up over her eligibility, along with fellow boxer Imane Khelif, after the Algerian beat her Italian opponent in just 46 seconds on Thursday. Khelif and Lin both fought at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics without controversy.
