Taiwan gender-row boxer Lin seals gold

Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting won Olympic gold in women’s 57kg boxing, defeating Poland’s Julia Szeremeta. Lin and Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who won gold in 66kg, were at the center of a gender controversy after being disqualified from last year’s world championships. Both were cleared to compete in Paris by the IOC. Lin, a two-time world champion, overcame personal struggles to achieve her Olympic dream, dedicating her victory to years of hard work. AFP
