Previously, Khelif faced a ban from the International Boxing Association for being classified as male due to having both X and Y chromosomes. However, she is permitted to compete as a female in the Olympics, which follow different regulations. Taiwanese fighter Lin Yu-ting is also participating in the Olympics after receiving a similar ban from the IBA.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to Khelif&#8217;s first match, where she won quickly against Italy\u2019s Angela Carini due to an early stoppage, her bout with Hamori went the full three rounds. All five judges awarded the fight to Khelif based on points. As per The New York Times, boxing at the Olympics grants two bronze medals, ensuring Khelif will take one home.<\/p>\n<p>After her win, Khelif expressed her feelings about past injustices she faced in boxing and affirmed her identity as a woman. She dedicated her medal to everyone around the world and specifically mentioned Arabs while celebrating Algeria.<\/p>\n<p>Hamori had previously claimed not to fear facing Khelif and suggested doubts about Khelif&#8217;s gender; however, they appeared cordial post-fight. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach defended allowing athletes with both X and Y chromosomes in women&#8217;s competitions by stating that both boxers have lived their lives as women and meet all criteria for participation.<\/p>\n<p>Bach challenged critics of this policy by inviting them to propose scientifically-based definitions of womanhood if they disagreed with current standards. He emphasized that he would not engage in politically motivated debates regarding gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>Khelif is set to compete again soon against Janjaem Suwannapheng of Thailand, who previously won silver at the Tokyo Games<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2318747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-84.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32547,36956,37010,33418,35638],"class_list":["post-2318746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-gender-equality","tag-imane-khelif","tag-olympic-boxing","tag-sports-controversy","tag-womens-sports"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-84.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2318746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2318746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2318747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2318746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2318746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2318746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
