Iman Khalif, the boxer the center of an ill informed
gender debate,
has punched her way through to a gold medal at
the Paris Olympics.
The 25 year old Algerian defeated turn as a young
youth to become the first woman pugilist from Algeria to
win a boxing gold.
The Algerian transporter showed up in big numbers at the
Roland Garrow and gave Halif a rousing welcome.
She dominated the fight and then won it unanimously.
Khalif then saluted the crowd before breaking into enough trademark
dance around the ring and Khalif eventually climbed down the
ring.
Team members held her aloft on their shoulders and walked
around the arena as she soaked in the applause.
The Khalif has been unwitting,
has unwittingly become one of the central figures of the
Paris Games.
The 25 year old was disqualified from last year's World
Championships of failing a gender eligibility test.
That the International Olympic Committee rejected the results of the
IBA audit test is nothing but arbitrary.
Khalifa was trolled brutally on social media after her opponent
in the opening round.
Quit in less than 46 seconds,
saying that she had to preserve her life.
The as well. I think the whole world knows the
story of Iman Khalif.
I'm from a very small village,
from a very poor family in Algeria.
I was born and raised in poor neighborhoods,
but my family was always proud of me.
They always supported me in this sport.
My message to the whole world is that they should
commit to Olympic principles and they should avoid bullying.
They should not bully people.
This is a message of the Olympics.
