One of the two female boxers at the center of an Olympic gender controversy pleaded with the public to “avoid bullying all athletes” Sunday night. The association alleged that the women failed to pass unspecified gender tests that found they had male chromosomes. The International Boxing Association, whose president is Umar Kremlev of Russia, reportedly an acquaintance of President Vladimir Putin, has had its legitimacy scrutinized in recent years. (In Olympic boxing, there are no third-place matches, so two bronze medals are awarded to the semifinal losers.) Khelif also clinched an Olympic medal Saturday after defeating Hungarian Anna Luca Hamori in a unanimous decision.

VILLEPINTE, France — Lin Yu-ting won her quarterfinal bout at the Paris Olympics against Bulgarian Svetlana Staneva in a unanimous decision on Sunday that assured a medal for the featherweight representing Chinese Taipei. Lin said she focused on preparing for the fight, apparently shrugging off baseless questions about her gender and eligibility to compete as a woman. Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting reacts after winning the women's 57kg quarter-final boxing match during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on August 4, 2024. But then all five judges scored it 10-9 for Lin in the next two rounds, securing a semifinal appearance. She'll fight Turkey's Esra Yıldız Kahraman on Wednesday night with that winner advancing to the gold medal round on Saturday night.
