‘I am a woman like any woman’: Imane Khelif declares after winning gold at Paris Olympics | Parami News

Imane Khelif, an Algerian boxer, made history on Friday at the Paris Olympics after she won the women’s welterweight final against China’s Yang Liu, despite of intense scrutiny over her qualifications.

She is a 25-year-old who became Algeria’s first Olympic boxing gold medalist woman. And did so with valor and determination that dismissed any gender controversies associated with her victory.

“I am like any other woman,” said Khelif during a press conference after the fight. “I was born female and have lived as one, but there are anti-progress elements that can’t stomach my achievements. This is what makes it even more savory for me”. In asserting herself in front of critics, she highlighted her identity and resilience. The controversy dates back to 2023 when Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting were disqualified from World Championships by International Boxing Association. Due to failure to pass a sex chromosome test. However, both athletes were allowed to compete in Paris by IOC which discredited IBA’s findings as “arbitrary” and “illegitimate.”

Speaking about it later, Khelif said she could not believe that IBA would do such a thing and how online trolls attacked her.

“Everything they are writing about me on social media is immoral. I want people around the world to change their perception,” she said. What mattered most to her was moving beyond controversies.

However, it didn’t stop Khelif from pushing forward toward success; “Today I told them that the honor is above all” – says she. This determination was evident throughout her journey from zero-to-hero. Towards an Olympic gold medal as she defended her integrity and proved critics wrong.

Algerian fans’ support especially women played an important role in Khelif’s achievement. To cheer and support their favorite boxer audience gathered at Roland Garros and North Paris Arena. “The Algerian woman has always been known for her courage,” Khelif said. “The fact that these women came to the arena sent a message to the world that our honor is above all”

Khelif’s victory was not just an individual accomplishment. But also a sign of resilience and reply to critics who doubted her rightness to participate. This Olympic win illustrates her power, will, and strength against all odds.
