PARIS — The second boxer at the center of a global debate over gender eligibility and fairness at the Paris Olympics won her semifinal match Wednesday, ascending to the featherweight gold medal bout. Lin and another female Olympic boxer, Imane Khelif of Algeria, continue to face intense scrutiny and false accusations about their gender and eligibility to compete with women. The Bulgarian Olympic Committee later confirmed that Staneva was boasting about having XX chromosomes in an attempt to mock Lin. "The opponent is a respectable one.”Algeria's Imane Khelif reacts after defeating Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng in a women's 66-kilogram semifinal boxing match at the Olympics on Tuesday. Some who initially criticized Khelif and Lin apologized as more information about them and the IBA’s legitimacy came to light.

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.

ISTANBUL/ANTAKYA, Turkey, May 14 (Reuters) - Here are some views from Turkish citizens as their country voted on Sunday in elections that could extend President Tayyip Erdogan's rule into a third decade or see a transfer of power to his main rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu. I don't think it will go to a runoff," said school staff member Hasibe, 40, in the school where Erdogan voted on the Asian side of the city. I chose democracy and I hope that my country chooses democracy. "Of course, there are good things (Erdogan) did, but lately, they started to look down on and insult the nation. As you can see, even in elections, votes are being cast in ballot boxes outside," said school teacher Behzat Oz.
