Imane Khelif clinched a medal in an emotional fight that followed sharp scrutiny and online abuse as misconceptions about her gender have exploded into a larger clash about identity in sports.

At a Paris Games that has championed inclusion and seen other outcry over an opening ceremony performance featuring drag queens, LGBTQ+ groups say the hateful comments could pose dangers to their community and female athletes. Both had competed in IBA events for several years without problems, and the Russian-dominated body — which has faced years of clashes with the IOC over judging scandals, leadership decisions and financial issues — has refused to provide any information about the tests, underscoring its lack of transparency in nearly every aspect of its dealings, particularly in recent years.“Let’s be very clear here: We are talking about women’s boxing,” Bach said Saturday.
“If they are coming up with something, we are ready to listen,” Bach added."We are ready to look into it, but we will not take part in a sometimes politically motivated cultural war.” Khelif, who had failed to medal at the Tokyo Games held in 2021, will face Janjaem Suwannapheng of Thailand in the 66-kg semifinals on Tuesday at Roland Garros. Suwannpheng, a silver medalist at last year’s world championships, upset defending Olympic champion Busenaz Surmeneli a few minutes before Khelif’s victory.
