Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting’s opponent shouted ‘no, no’ following her defeat at the Paris Olympics<\/h2>\n

The second athlete who previously failed an unspecified gender eligibility test is through to the semi-finals at the Paris Olympics and is guaranteed a medal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taiwanese boxer\u00a0Lin Yu-ting<\/a>\u00a0beat Bulgarian Svetlana Staneva by unanimous decision at the\u00a0Olympics<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday, leading to Staneva’s coach suggesting Lin ‘should not be’ at the Paris Games.<\/p>\n

The Taiwanese\u00a0boxer<\/a>\u00a0had previously failed the IBA’s gender eligibility test in 2023 – a similar fate suffered by her fellow Olympian\u00a0Imane Khelif<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The IBA’s president Umar Kremlev released a statement at the time of the athlete’s dismissal, alleging that their gender and testosterone tests ‘proved they had XY chromosomes’.<\/p>\n

Both Lin and Khelif have competed in the women’s division for boxing and are recognized by the International Olympic Committee as female athletes.<\/p>\n

The IOC slammed Lin and Khelif disqualification from the world championships in 2023,\u00a0saying<\/a>\u00a0that they were ‘victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA’.<\/p>\n

In Lin and Staneva’s fight, the Bulgarian had complained about Lin’s apparent use of her elbows.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the match, Lin went in for an embrace but was ignored by Staneva, the Telegraph\u00a0reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staneva also shouted ‘no no’ after losing, but then opened the rope to allow Lin to leave, seemingly as a mark of respect.<\/p>\n

Staneva’s coach Borislav Georgiev, however,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0BBC Sport: “I’m not a medical person who should say if Lin could compete or not here, but when the test shows that… she has the Y chromosome she should not be here.”<\/p>\n

Both Lin and Khelif and are now guaranteed an Olympic medal after making it through to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Lin will face Turkey’s Esra Yildiz Kahraman on Wednesday, while Khelif takes to the ring on Tuesday against Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng for her bout.<\/p>\n

The Algerian won an unanimous points decision against Hungarian Anna Luca Hamori on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After the fight,\u00a0Khelif appeared emotional<\/a>\u00a0as she spoke to the media with her native Algerian flag wrapped around her neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dedicate this medal to the world, and to all the Arabs and I tell you, \u2018Long live Algeria!\u2019\u201d she said following the fight.<\/p>\n

“I want to tell the entire world that I am a female, and I will remain a female,” the boxer added.<\/p>\n

Khelif’s father, Amar Khelif, has previously dubbed the attacks on his daughter as ‘immoral’.<\/p>\n

He told Reuters: “It is not fair. She made us proud many times, she honored our country and our flag many times and she always made us happy with her results.<\/p>\n

“These critics aim to destabilize her to fail in the wrestling ring but she is a champion and she will remain a champion.”<\/p>\n
