Imane Khelif gold medal in boxing, 66 kg category, at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 25-year-old Algerian boxer, one of the most talked-about figures of the Games, beat Chinese Yang Liu in the final. Khelif wins the match on the basis of a unanimous verdict: The 5 judges awarded her success in all 3 rounds.
In the first round, the African athlete boxer lands 2 clean shots which are sufficient to obtain the score of 10-9.
Same script in the second round: same score in favor of Khelif, who does not allow Yang Liu to land effective attacks. The Algerian boxer, thanks to her long levers, manages the exchanges and in the third round, knowing that victory is within reach, he can disengage with ease. Another 10-9, unanimous verdict and gold medal.
Khelif faced Italian Angela Carini in the first round of the tournament who, however, had abandoned the match after less than a minute with all the controversy that had accompanied the pre and post match.
