IOC Approves Two Transgender Boxers for Paris Olympics
Khelif and Lin to Face Female Opponents After Failing Gender Tests
Paves the Way for Future Transgender Athlete Participation
In a groundbreaking decision, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the participation of two transgender boxers, Imane Khelif of Algeria and Taiwan's Lin Yu-Ting, in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
Khelif and Lin previously failed gender eligibility tests, but the IOC has granted them a free pass to face female opponents in the women's division.
This decision represents a significant shift in policy and marks a major step forward for transgender athletes in sports.
