And now Lin, the Taiwanese boxer and two-time world champion, has also reached the gold medal fight after victory over Yildiz Kahraman, having also been disqualified from the women’s World Championships in New Delhi last year after failing to meet the gender eligibility criteria of the International Boxing Association. She ultimately lost her bronze medal at the same competition in New Delhi last year, following defeat in the semi-finals to Kazakhstan's Karina Ibragimova, after she failed to meet the gender eligibility criteria. “Every person has the right to practice sport without discrimination.” But the IBA condemned “inconsistencies in eligibility” at the Paris Games, stating: “Both Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting post testing, did not meet the required eligibility criteria to compete within the female category of our respective events,” the body added.
