Lin and fellow women’s boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria are said to have failed gender eligibility tests at the world championships last year.
Lin and fellow women’s boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria were disqualified from the world championships held last year by the International Boxing Association for supposedly failing gender eligibility tests. Their presence at the Paris Olympics has become a divisive international issue,Lin entered the ring at the North Paris Arena to a chorus of cheers from the French crowd. Her headgear became dislodged in the first minute during a clinch, but she won the first round on four of five scorecards.
Staneva is a 34-year-old amateur boxing veteran who lost a close fight to Lin at the 2023 world championships in India. The victory was changed to a no-contest by the IBA, which claimed Lin had failed an unspecified gender test.Lin didn’t speak to the media afterward. Taiwan coach Tseng Tzu-chiang briefly described the victory, saying Lin overcame pressure in the first round, before leaving.
The IOC repeatedly has condemned the growing criticism of Lin and Khelif, who won her own first bout Thursday when opponent Angela Carini of Italy quit after 46 seconds, citing pain in her nose following a few exchanges of punches.
