Boxer Lin Yu-ting wins gold, following Imane Khelif to conclude an Olympics filled with scrutiny

Boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan won a gold medal in the women's featherweight division at the Paris Olympics on Saturday night, following Imane Khelif's lead a day earlier with a glittering response to the intense scrutiny faced by both fighters inside the ring and around the world over misconceptions about their womanhood. Lin beat Julia Szeremeta of Poland 5:0 in the final at Roland Garros, capping her four-fight unbeaten run through Paris by ensuring that Taiwan's first Olympic boxing medal is golden. On Friday, Khelif won Algeria's first women's boxing medal with a decisive victory in her own final, beating Yang Liu of China.
