This achievement marks Algeria&#8217;s first gold in women&#8217;s boxing and the first for an Arab nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Khelif&#8217;s path to gold began with a stunning 46-second victory over Italy&#8217;s Angela Carini in the Round of 16, which reignited debates about her gender eligibility after she was disqualified from the 2023 World Championships due to a gender test. She then dominated her quarterfinal against Hungary&#8217;s Anna Hamori and secured her final spot by defeating Thailand&#8217;s Janjaem Suwannapheng.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Tiaret, Algeria, Khelif transitioned from football to boxing in her teens, overcoming financial hardships to train.

I&#8217;m a woman like any other woman. I was born a woman, I lived a woman, I competed as a woman. There&#8217;s no doubt about that.\u201d She recounted the harsh online attacks, stating, \u201cThe attacks I heard on social media were extremely bad&#8230; they impact the dignity of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old hopes her journey inspires change, saying, \u201cI think that the whole world now knows the story of Imane Khelif. I was born and raised in poor neighborhoods, but my family was always proud of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her journey reflects resilience and determination, serving as an inspiration for women in sports worldwide.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92024 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
