    Paris Olympics: Imane Khelif Targets Gold, Asks For An End To 'gender Bullying'

    By IANS News August 05, 2024 • 13:18 PM View: 707
    The Taiwan Olympic Committee: Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has called for an end to the "bullying and negative rhetoric" after she guaranteed herself an Olympic medal in the women's 66kg category in the Paris Olympics, becoming the first woman from her country to achieve this milestone.

    Khelif's victory over Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori has not only secured Algeria's first boxing medal since 2000 but has also secured her place into the semi-finals, where she will face Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng on Tuesday.

    The Algerian has found herself at the center of a gender eligibility debate. Alongside Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting, Khelif has faced scrutiny and online abuse due to differing eligibility criteria set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Boxing Association (IBA).
