Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer caught in gender row at the Paris Olympics, has assured a medal by qualifying for the semifinal of the Women's boxing 66kg event on Saturday, July 3. The Algerian boxer was the centre of controversy after her round of 16 opponent, Italy's Angela Carini, pulled out of the fight just after 46 seconds. Khelif defeated Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori 5-0 to advance to the semifinals. In boxing, two bronze medals are awarded, and a semifinal finish is enough to ensure a place on the podium. Paris Olympics 2024: IOC President Thomas Bach Defends Boxers Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting Amid Gender Row, Says Won’t Tolerate ‘Politically Motivated Cultural War’.
