Imane Khelif Wins Quarterfinal Amid Gender Controversy: Emotional Victory Over Hungary's Anna Luca
Imane Khelif has secured a guaranteed bronze medal after a decisive victory in the women’s 66kg quarter-final at the Olympics.
Her triumph was marked by an emotional outburst where she declared 'I am a woman!'
This win comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over her gender eligibility, with the International Boxing Association (IBA) previously questioning her participation due to gender test results.
The IOC has stepped in to address the controversy, affirming Khelif's eligibility and condemning the hate speech directed at her and fellow athlete Lin Yu-ting.
Watch the full analysis of Khelif’s performance, the surrounding controversies, and the latest reactions from boxing authorities.
In a historic and hard-fought victory, Algeria’s Imane Khelif emerged as an Olympic boxing champion at the Paris Games, overcoming not only her opponents in the ring but also a wave of controversy that questioned her very identity. The 25-year-old athlete clinched a unanimous decision over China’s Liu Yang in the 66kg division on Thursday, securing her place atop the Olympic podium. Yet, the gold medal hanging around her neck symbolises more than just athletic excellence; it represents her resilience in the face of intense scrutiny and online hate.

At the Paris Olympics, two boxers, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, have advanced to gold medal matches in their respective weight categories at the Paris Olympics. These athletes have been at the center of controversy due to questions about their eligibility to compete in women's events. The IBA had found XY chromosomes in their DNA last year. Despite this the athletes have reached Finals of Paris Olympics.

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.
