A second boxer who ‘failed a gender test’ has won her opening fight in the Olympics after being cleared to compete in the event amid an eligibility row.

Taiwan‘s Lin Yu-Ting put on a dominant display across three rounds at the North Paris Arena on Friday to storm to victory against Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan.

The 28-year-old showed off impressive striking and quick footwork to maintain dominance inside the ring and secure the unanimous decision victory.

Afterwards, her opponent Turdibekova was overcome with emotion and could not hold back the tears as they decision was read out inside the arena. The pair did not embrace or congratulate each other.

Lin is one of two boxers at the Games who were disqualified from the Women’s Boxing World Championships last year – with Algeria’s Imane Khelif win in the women’s welterweight event just 24 hours prior sparking an eligibility row.
