"I Am A Woman": Imane Khelif's Message After Winning Paris Olympics 2024 Boxing Gold

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.

Wrapped In Pakistan Flag, Arshad Nadeem Breaks Down After Clinching Olympics Gold. Video

Arshad Nadeem gave Pakistan its first Olympic gold medal in 32 years, setting a new Games record with an attempt of 92.97 metres in the men's javelin throw final. Before Arshad's remarkable victory in Paris, Pakistan had never won an individual gold medal at the Olympics. Pakistan had previously won just three golds, all in field hockey, with their team winning the titles in 1960, 1968 and 1984. It was an astonishing feat for Arshad, who unlike his opponents, struggled to even buy a new javelin for training.

Defending champions Italy, featuring 2021 100m champion Marcell Jacobs on the second leg, finished fourth in 37.68sec. The United States, missing Covid-hit 100m champion Noah Lyles, initially crossed the line in seventh in 37.89, but were later disqualified.

Paulino, the reigning world champion, surged home in 48.17sec with Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser taking silver in 48.53sec and Poland's Natalia Kaczmarek bronze in 48.98sec. The 27-year-old Paulino's time bettered the previous Olympic record of 48.25sec set by France's Marie-Jose Perec at the 1996 Atlanta Games. The Dominican was always in control after blasting out of the blocks, with only 2019 world champion Naser offering resistance.
