Imane Khelif, an Algerian boxer, won the women's 66kg gold medal at the Paris Summer Olympics, defeating Yang Liu of China in the final with a unanimous decision. This victory makes Khelif the first Algerian, Arab, and African woman to win an Olympic boxing gold medal. The match was held at the 15,000-seat Court Philippe Chatrier, with a large crowd of Algerian fans in attendance, cheering her on and waving Algerian flags. Khelif's win was a significant moment, as she had previously been disqualified from last year's world championships due to failing gender eligibility testing.
