In the latest Olympic bout of gender controversy, Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, previously ousted from the 2023 World Championships due to a gender eligibility test, made it into the quarterfinals of the division with a decisive victory over Uzbekistan’s Sitora Turdibekova.

As the top seed in the featherweight division, Lin clinched a unanimous decision, dominating the match from start to finish.

The gender eligibility test that triggered Imane Khelif’s disqualification in 2023 also entangled Lin, sparking renewed turmoil during Khelif’s bout against Italian Angela Carini, which ended in a mere 46 seconds as Carini threw in the towel.

Despite the uproar, the International Olympic Committee, now overseeing the boxing competition, has stood by its green light for both fighters, claiming that neither athlete is male and defending the decision based on Lin’s documented female birth and medical history.
