Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Ensures Medal At Paris Olympics 2024 Amid Gender Row | IBA Slams IOC Algeria’s Imane Khelif, one of the boxers at the centre of a gender row at the Olympics, has guaranteed herself a medal at the Paris games. Khelif is set to win at least a bronze medal in the women's 66 kg category after defeating Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori in the quarterfinals. Khelif’s quarter-final win came as the International Boxing Association (IBA) defended its decision to ban her for failing to meet gender eligibility criteria. The participation of Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting at Paris 2024 has led to scrutiny as the IBA previously disqualified them following gender eligibility tests. Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach defended Khelif and Taiwan's double world champion Lin Yu-ting.
