Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting Wins Gold in Women's Featherweight Final Amid Gender Controversy #paris2024

An emotional Lin Yu-ting became the second boxer in 24 hours to win women's Olympic gold despite the ongoing row over her gender eligibility. The Taiwanese beat Polish 20-year-old Julia Szeremeta by unanimous decision to claim the featherweight title, a day after Imane Khelif became the welterweight champion.
Lin Yu-ting captured featherweight gold on Saturday, defeating Poland’s Julia Szeremeta and shaking off more than a week of specious allegations that she shouldn’t be fighting in the women’s division.

Lin won by unanimous decision at Roland-Garros stadium, with the five judges scoring it 10-9 in all three rounds for the fighter representing Chinese Taipei.
The gold medalist is listed at 5-foot-9 and her Polish opponent at 5-foot-5, but the disparity appeared to be greater in real life, with Lin punching downhill and rarely being threatened.
Lin and welterweight gold medalist Imane Khelif of Algeria have both dealt with a firestorm of questions from opponents wrongly questioning their gender since they entered Olympic competition.
Gender row boxer Lin Yu-Ting reigned supreme and punched her way towards an Olympic gold medal to become the second woman here to hit her critics where it hurts.
Yu-Ting, 28, pummelled Poland's Julia Szeremeta, 20, over three rounds at Roland Garros to win via unanimous decision and join Imane Khelif of Algeria in successfully seeing off their opponents from outside the ring who claimed the pair were male and should have been barred from the Paris games.
Yu-Ting wiped the smile off her opponent's face with a blistering flurry of punches from the bell. Szeremeta, who will be 21 in a fortnight and whose nickname is 'Shady, attempted to derail her focus by smirking at her and dancing around the ring.
But Yu-Ting has rallied against a lot of attacks in these games and wasn't accepting it any more. She won in three rounds and fell to her knees as her opponent graciously congratulated her.
Whereas Yu-Ting's previous two opponents had made the 'X' sign with their index fingers, Szeremeta chose to make a heart shape to the crowd from the ring. Yu-Ting bowed repeatedly to the spectators and thanked them, pointing to her heart.
Boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan won a gold medal in the women's featherweight division at the Paris Olympics on Saturday night, following Imane Khelif's lead a day earlier with a glittering response to the intense scrutiny faced by both fighters inside the ring and around the world over misconceptions about their womanhood.
Lin beat Julia Szeremeta of Poland 5:0 in the final at Roland Garros, capping her four-fight unbeaten run through Paris by ensuring that Taiwan's first Olympic boxing medal is golden.
Lin Yu-ting, one of two boxers at the heart of a gender dispute at the Paris Games, made light work of Polish opponent Julia Szeremeta to claim the women’s featherweight title on Saturday.
Lin and Algeria’s Imane Khelif, who won gold in the welterweight category on Friday, have been in the spotlight as part of a gender dispute that has dominated headlines and been the subject of much discussion on social media platforms, triggering a legal complaint from the Algerian.
The 28-year-old Lin became Taiwan’s first gold medallist in boxing, with the island having previously won only three bronze medals in the sport – two of which came at the Paris Olympics.

Gender verification in sports ensures fair competition in single-sex events. Methods have evolved from physical exams and chromosome tests to hormone testing. Chromosome tests, which identify XX or XY patterns, proved unreliable due to biological variations and did not consistently correlate with athletic performance, leading to their abandonment by sports organizations.

In contrast, testosterone tests focus on hormone levels, which are directly linked to athletic ability. Testosterone significantly impacts muscle mass, strength, and endurance, providing a more accurate measure of performance potential. Unlike chromosome tests, testosterone levels are quantifiable and can be monitored, offering a practical approach to maintaining competitive balance.

With testosterone levels differing up to 15 times between men and women, it is a crucial indicator for categorizing athletes. Testosterone testing ensures fairness by addressing a key biological factor affecting athletic performance, making it a superior met
