Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has filed a legal complaint following her historic gold medal win in the women's 66kg boxing final at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Khelif, who became the first Algerian woman to achieve this feat, faced intense online harassment with critics questioning her gender. Her lawyer confirmed the complaint was lodged on Friday. The controversy follows the disqualification of Khelif and Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting from the 2023 World Boxing Championship, a decision later overturned by the International Olympics Association, allowing both to compete in the Olympics.
