Crowds of women have shown up at Imane Khelif's fights during the Paris Olympics to rally around the Algerian boxer.
Algeria's Imane Khelif celebrates after defeating Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng in their women's 66 kg semifinal boxing match at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, in Paris, France. Crowds of women have shown up at Imane Khelif's fights during the Paris Olympics to rally around the Algerian boxer as she faces online abuse over misconceptions about her sex.
Khelif and fellow boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan have been heavily scrutinized by those bringing up their disqualification from the world championships last year. The Olympics- banned International Boxing Association claimed the two fighters failed unspecified eligibility tests for women’s competition. "People are so afraid of strong women,” said Dayan, who didn't know who Khelif was before the start of the Olympics but followed the backlash against her online. “People are so afraid of strong women of color. And I think this is so beautiful that she’s here and that she’s fighting through. And she’s going to win.”
