Overview
- Competing at 60kg, the Olympic champion claimed gold at Taiwan’s National Games in her first competition since the Paris 2024 Olympics, her coach confirmed.
- The opening bout ended after 1 minute 34 seconds when Pan Yan-fei’s corner threw in the towel, with officials recording the result as abandoned and saying the 19-year-old was stable and able to walk unaided.
- Taiwan’s event relies on standard medical clearance rather than World Boxing’s new requirement that women’s entrants show no Y chromosome, which has kept Lin out of international competition.
- Lin’s coach said she submitted the mandated genetic test for September’s World Championships and is awaiting a response from World Boxing on future eligibility.
- Algerian champion Imane Khelif has an active appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport challenging World Boxing’s mandatory testing, reflecting the wider dispute over women’s boxing eligibility.
