Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has claimed gold at the Paris Olympics, emerging as a champion from a tumultuous run including huge scrutiny over her eligibility.
Khelif beat Yang Liu of China 5-0 in the women's welterweight division gold medal bout on Friday night in Paris, wrapping up the best series of fights of her boxing career with victory at Roland Garros.
France's huge Algerian community embraced Khelif through the Games, with the coverted Philippe-Chartier Court - which usually hosts the French Open tennis major - roaring with chants of "Imane, Imane" for her final fight.
