After the show: what happened next to Olympic gender row boxers?

Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting won historic gold medals in Paris, but the future of both fighters remain in doubt

It was the full hero’s welcome for Imane Khelif on her return home from Paris to Algiers. An open-topped bus parade on a humid evening that had followed a meeting with president Abdelmadjid Tebboune in the El Mouradia Palace where she was granted the honorary title of major in the Algerian army.

The celebrations were only a little more muted on the other side of the world, where Lin Yu-ting, lauded as the “daughter of Taiwan” by its president, was the honoured guest at a sumptuous banquet put on by her sponsors Yumark Enterprises.
