Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is set to compete for an Olympic gold medal on Tuesday night in the boxing semifinals at the Paris Olympics. Khelif will face off against Janjaem Suwannapheng of Thailand at Roland Garros, the renowned tennis complex in Paris. The victor of this match will progress to the women's 66-kilogram finals scheduled for Friday night.
Khelif, a seasoned two-time Olympian, has already secured her first Olympic medal, marking Algeria's inaugural medal in women's boxing. To claim Algeria's second boxing gold medal, following Hocine Soltani in 1996, Khelif must secure two more victories.
