Similar Stories to Imane Khelif, Algerian Boxer At The Center Of Gender Row, Now Guaranteed An Olympic Medal on Bing News

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has faced scrutiny through the Paris Games, is now guaranteed at least an Olympic bronze medal, after defeating Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori in a unanimous decision in the quarterfinals. Khelif’s opening-fight defeat of Angela Carini of Italy on Thursday—Carini withdrew after 46 seconds—sparked international outrage given that the International Boxing Association (IBA) claimed last year that she failed an unspecified gender test at the World Women’s Boxing Championships in New Delhi, disqualifying her from the event. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Today, however, a pro-Algeria, pro-Khelif faction at North Paris Arena in Villepinte, France, gave her a practical home-field advantage.
