Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting won the women's featherweight boxing gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics amid a gender controversy that also involved Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won gold in the 66kg category. Both athletes faced scrutiny after being disqualified from the Women's World Championships in 2023 due to gender eligibility tests revealing male chromosomes. However, the International Olympic Committee affirmed their eligibility, stating they compete as women according to their passports. Lin's victory was marked by an emotional podium moment, where she expressed the importance of focusing on her sport despite the surrounding noise. The gender debate has garnered attention from public figures, including Donald Trump and J.K. Rowling. Meanwhile, China’s Li Qian secured gold in the women’s middleweight boxing final, with Panama's Atheyna Bylon taking silver.
