Cheering crowds filled the streets of Tiaret, Algeria on Friday evening to welcome boxer Imane Khelif back home as she returned from the Paris Olympic Games where she won a gold medal. She posted a video of the parade to her Instagram story on Friday, leading the crowd in frenzied cheers as they waved back at her.
The International Olympic Committee , however, strongly supported her participation in the 2024 Games, with IOC spokesperson Mark Adams saying she was “born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.” The fight became a flashpoint for an often-misinformed debate about how women are allowed to compete in sports.
