Controversy:<\/strong><\/p>\nLin faced scrutiny after a gender eligibility test disqualified her from the 2023 World Championships.<\/p>\n
Similar to Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, Lin was later confirmed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as eligible to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Despite criticisms, both athletes\u2019 passports and medical records confirm they were born female.<\/p>\n
Upcoming bout:<\/p>\n
Lin is set to compete against Sitora Turdibekova of Uzbekistan on August 2, 2024, at the Paris Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
