Imane Khelif Wins Quarterfinal Amid Gender Controversy: Emotional Victory Over Hungary's Anna Luca

Imane Khelif has secured a guaranteed bronze medal after a decisive victory in the women’s 66kg quarter-final at the Olympics.

Her triumph was marked by an emotional outburst where she declared 'I am a woman!'

This win comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over her gender eligibility, with the International Boxing Association (IBA) previously questioning her participation due to gender test results.

The IOC has stepped in to address the controversy, affirming Khelif's eligibility and condemning the hate speech directed at her and fellow athlete Lin Yu-ting.

Watch the full analysis of Khelif’s performance, the surrounding controversies, and the latest reactions from boxing authorities.
