Imane Khelif’s journey to winning the Olympic gold medal is nothing short of inspiring. The 25-year-old Algerian boxer has been at the center of controversy after her Italian opponent, Angela Carini, withdrew from their match just 46 seconds in, sparking a global discussion about Khelif’s gender and eligibility to compete.

Despite the scrutiny, Khelif remained focused on her goal and went on to win her semi-final match against Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng ³.

In the final match, Khelif faced off against China’s Yang Liu in the women’s welterweight division at the Paris Olympics. With a unanimous decision, Khelif emerged victorious, winning the gold medal and making history as the first Algerian woman to do so ⁵. This win is a testament to Khelif’s skill, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity.
