Paris Olympics Boxing Controversy Explodes: Staneva's 'X' Gesture Sparks Furious Debate | Watch

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics. #ParisOlympics #BoxingControversy #SvetlanaStaneva #LinYuTing #XGesture #GenderDebate #OlympicBoxing #SportsControversy #GenderIdentity #OlympicFury #StanevaVsLin #BoxingDrama #OlympicNews #SportsHeadlines #WatchNow ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.103~
