Boxing champion Imane Khelif, undeterred by President Trump, targets second Olympic gold at Los Angeles Olympics

The Hindu  

Imane Khelif, who won Paris Olympics boxing gold amid a gender-eligibility row, is determined to defend her title at the 2028 Los Angeles Games and says she will not be intimidated by US President Donald Trump. Trump signed an executive order banning transgender women from female sports in the United States last month and called Khelif “a male boxer” in his speech after signing the order. “This does not concern me, and it does not intimidate me.” The International Olympic Committee’s executive board recommended boxing’s inclusion in the 2028 Games on Monday and Khelif said she dreamed of retaining her title in California. “I believe that if the old Imane operated at 50 per cent of her potential, then the Imane Khalif of today is even more motivated and determined.” Khelif was disqualified by the International Boxing Association at the 2023 world championships after a test that the body said rendered her ineligible to fight as a woman on the grounds of gender.
