Imane Helif (Algeria), who is in the midst of a gender-based controversy in the women’s boxing category at the Paris Olympics, won her first gold medal by defeating Yang Liu (China) 5-0 in the final at Roland Garros on the 9th. The 25-year-old Heriff failed a gender eligibility test at last year’s world championships organised by the International Boxing Association (IBA). However, the IBA’s recognition as a governing body was revoked due to concerns about its organizational management, and the Paris Olympics are now being held under the jurisdiction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC has stated that “there will be no problem (with her competing) because her passport states she is a woman.” In the second round, the first match of the day, the Italian player was hit by a punch from Helib and withdrew after just 46 seconds. The issue has ignited international controversy following comments by Italian Prime Minister Meloni, who said that “athletes with male genetic characteristics should not be able to compete in women’s events.” (Joint).
