Imane Caliph (25, Algeria), who was embroiled in a gender controversy at the Paris Olympics, won his dream gold medal. 메이저사이트
Caliph won the women’s 66kg boxing final at the 2024 Paris Olympics at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris, France, on the 10th of Korean time, 5-0 against Yangryu (China) and all judges.
Caliph, along with Lin Whiting (Taiwan), is a controversial player who was disqualified from the World Championship by the International Boxing Association last year.
At the time, the association disqualified the two players for possessing the XY chromosome, which generally means men.
“I am qualified to participate in the Olympics. I was born and lived as a woman just like any other woman,” Khalif said after winning the gold medal. “I have said many times whether I am a woman or not. Criticism has given me the driving force. I am even happier about the gold medal thanks to their attack.”
“I hope there will be no one criticized like me in the Olympics in the future,” he said.
Contrary to the criticism on social media, there were many calls for “caliphate” in the stadium.
“The audience and the fans cheered me up,” Khalif said. “Algerian women are known for being tough and brave. They came to support and sent messages all over the world.”
