Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-Ting won in the ring against the Uzbek Sitora Turdibekova in the fight in the 57 kilo category and guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Uzbek boxer was able to withstand his opponent’s direct punches and several times managed to corner him and block him by putting his arm around his neck. The public also did not hesitate to sing Turdibekova’s name to cheer her on.
But all that was not enough for the judges to see the dominant dominance in the three rounds, which were quite tight.
Despite his success, the Taiwanese did not give any statement. “Lin respected the judges. It was the first round and he had no pressure. He enjoyed the fight,” his coach quickly said through an interpreter.
Lin Yu-Ting and Imane Khelif They are two of the boxers, the first at featherweight and the second at welterweight, who are making the most noise in Paris for displaying high levels of testosterone and XY chromosomes, typical of men, in their DNA.
The Uzbekunlike Italian Angela Cariniwho retired just 46 seconds after starting his fight with Khelif for the same reason, knew how to fight until the last second.
Yu-Ting She was already disqualified last year by the International Boxing Association from the World Championships for failing gender tests, although the International Olympic Committee gave her the go-ahead to be in her second Games.
