Lin Yu-ting Wins Gold Amid Gender Controversy

Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting and Algeria's Imane Khelif won gold medals in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics, amid significant controversy over their gender eligibility. Both boxers had previously failed gender tests conducted by the International Boxing Association (IBA), which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not recognize. The IOC allowed them to compete based on their passports indicating female gender. Despite the controversy and online abuse, Khelif won the welterweight final against China's Yang Liu, while Lin dominated Poland's Julia Szeremeta in the featherweight final. The IOC's stance has sparked debate over the fairness and safety of women's sports, with critics arguing that the eligibility rules are too lenient.
