Taiwanese Lin Advances to Featherweight Final in Boxing at the Olympics

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting qualified for the women's featherweight final at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Wednesday by defeating Turkey's Esra Yildiz in the semifinals. This comes amid controversy surrounding Lin concerning gender differences. Taiwanese Lin and Algerian Imane Khalif, who qualified for the middleweight final yesterday, have been at the center of widespread debate in recent days. The controversy involves gender differences, as both boxers were disqualified from the 2023 World Championship in New Delhi due to not passing eligibility tests from the International Boxing Association.
