Imane Khelif is moving on, and one of the biggest controversies at the Paris Olympics isn’t going away anytime soon.
Khelif, the Algerian boxer whose gender eligibility has become a source of dispute between the International Olympics Committee, the International Boxing Association and seemingly every person with an opinion, beat Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori by unanimous decision in Saturday’s welterweight quarterfinal bout.
Khelif is assured of an Olympic medal after a 5-0 decision. Two bronze medals are awarded in boxing because the fighters who lose in the semifinals do not have adequate time to recover for the third-place match.
