Algerian boxer Imane Khelif will fight on Friday for the gold medal at the "Paris 2024" Olympic Games. Khelif on Tuesday dominated the semi-final clash with Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng and won by unanimous decision.
Khelif has been in the spotlight as one of two boxers in Paris, along with Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting, who are competing despite being disqualified from last year's World Championships by the International Boxing Association for failing a gender test.
The IBA bans boxers with male XY chromosomes from competing in women's competition.
She is guaranteed the silver medal. Algeria is participating for the second time in the Olympic Games. He had competed in Tokyo three years ago when he was eliminated in the quarterfinals. She competes in the welterweight category.
Algeria has never won an Olympic gold medal in boxing.
