| A lawyer for Algerian boxer Imane Khelif says the gold medal-winning boxer has asked prosecutors in Paris to look into online harassment she faced during the Olympics about her gender and presence at the Games.
The lawyer, Nabil Boudi, said in a statement on Instagram that his firm had filed a complaint with the online hate unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office. It was not immediately clear where the complaint would lead.

| Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, who quietly weathered a firestorm during these Paris Games of at times ugly speculation about her personal biology, won a gold medal Saturday on what could potentially be the last night of boxing at the Olympic Games.
In a ring centered at Philippe Chatrier Court at Roland Garros, Lin set all the wider noise aside with a victory that played out much like the rest of her wins at these Games: Fairly subdued, defensive and filled with counterpunching to score a unanimous decision in a system where knockouts are highly difficult to attain.

| Her name is Cindy Ngamba and — despite losing in the semifinal bout of the women’s 75-kilogram boxing competition — she is the first-ever medalist for the Olympic refugee team.
Going up against Panama’s Atheyna Bylon, Ngamba dropped the first round to the tall southpaw on all five scorecards despite keeping her left foot mostly on the outside of Bylon’s right — a common battle for prime position between opponents with opposing dominant hands. Ngamba came back swinging in the second, earning four of the five judges’ votes.
Bylon regained the edge in the third and... Медиа: | ↑ |

| PARIS — When it was over, when her arm had been raised and the gloves had been touched, Imane Khelif soaked up the roars of the crowd and ran in giddy little steps around the ring inside the tennis cathedral turned boxing ring.
The Algerian fighter’s jubilant celebration to mark her achievement of reaching the Olympic final stood in contrast to her reaction three days ago, when her quarterfinal win reduced her to tears on the mat, overcome with emotion from a week that has seen her gender questioned amid the still-unclear circumstances that led to her disqualification from a major fight...

Instead, what followed was a two-hour affair of little explanation, a great deal of obfuscation, and a series of evasive answers to reporters’ questions that did nothing to back up the IBA’s claims that the women... Медиа: | ↑ |

| VILLEPINTE, France — Following days of furor surrounding the Olympic eligibility of women’s boxer Imane Khelif, the Algerian’s quarterfinal bout against Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori went on as planned Saturday.
The result: a Khelif victory, an emotional outpouring and a frenzied media circus.
Khelif won in a unanimous decision at North Paris Arena, taking each round of the three-round quarterfinal in the 66-kilogram (145-pound) division. Because Olympic boxing does not have a bronze medal bout, she is now assured a medal in the 2024 Games, no matter what happens in her semifinal.

Two boxers, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, were approved to fight in women’s divisions at the Paris Games under guidance that relied in part on their passports and a medical clearance to determine they could compete.
