Imane Khelif, the Algerian boxer, is set to compete against Janjaem Suwannapheng of Thailand in the women's 66-kilogram semifinals at Roland Garros. Khelif, along with Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan, has been at the center of debates surrounding gender identity and sports regulations since the start of the Paris Games. The controversy escalated after Khelif's opponent tearfully abandoned their fight after just 46 seconds, following Khelif's win in the opening bout. Despite facing online vitriol, Khelif's victory in the quarterfinals guarantees her at least a bronze medal.
