Read our privacy policy Boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan won a gold medal in the women's featherweight division at the Paris Olympics on Saturday night, following Imane Khelif's lead a day earlier with a glittering response to the intense scrutiny faced by both fighters inside the ring and around the world over misconceptions about their womanhood. Lin routed Julia Szeremeta of Poland 5:0 in the final at Roland Garros, capping her four-fight unbeaten run through Paris by winning Taiwan's first Olympic boxing gold medal.
