In a historic and hard-fought victory, Algeria’s Imane Khelif emerged as an Olympic boxing champion at the Paris Games, overcoming not only her opponents in the ring but also a wave of controversy that questioned her very identity.
The 25-year-old athlete clinched a unanimous decision over China’s Liu Yang in the 66kg division on Thursday, securing her place atop the Olympic podium.
Yet, the gold medal hanging around her neck symbolises more than just athletic excellence; it represents her resilience in the face of intense scrutiny and online hate.
With the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games now concluded, France is left with a bill exceeding €8 billion for hosting the world’s biggest sporting event. The question remains: will the Games stimulate the French economy, or will the expenses outweigh the potential gains?
