Paris Olympics: Imane Khelif Clinches Gold Amid Gender Controversy
The International Olympic Committee: Imane Khelif of Algeria claimed Olympic women's boxing gold at Paris 2024 beating Chinese world champion Yang Liu 5-0 in the 66kg final, a year after being disqualified from the World Championships due to a gender eligibility controversy.
Khelif's victory, which came by unanimous decision in the welterweight final, marked a historic moment as she became the first woman from Africa and the Arab world to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing.
Khelif took control early on, establishing a commanding lead over the first two rounds. Her aggressive approach, backed by the roaring support of a packed Roland Garros crowd, saw her dominate the bout. Despite Yang’s efforts to turn the tide with her southpaw jab and sharp combinations, Khelif’s relentless pressure and powerful punches kept her opponent on the back foot.
