No interviews
Second “male” boxer also wins and remains silent
On Friday evening, the second "male" female boxer also got into the Olympic action. Lin Yu-ting won her first fight on points. She did not give any interviews afterwards - although 100 journalists wanted to talk to her.
Alongside Imane Khelif, Lin from Taiwan is perhaps the best-known - and most controversial - female boxer in the world at the moment. Her story is currently going around the world: too much testosterone for the World Championships, female enough for the Olympics despite her Y chromosome (we reported in detail). So on Friday she also stepped into the ring. In the women's competition - although many observers didn't want to see it and considered it unfair. But it happened anyway. In the first fight, Sitora Turdibekova from Uzbekistan was waiting in the weight class up to 57 kilograms.
Victory on points
It was not as clear-cut for Lin as it had been for Khelif two days earlier - when her opponent Angela Camari gave up after less than a minute. In the end, she won on points.
"She's under pressure"
There were no interviews afterwards. Lin (just like her "male" colleague Khelif) remained silent on the matter. She walked past the 100 or so inquisitive journalists on her way to the dressing room without saying a word. Her coach simply said: "She's under a lot of pressure." And no more words.
The discussions will continue. Incidentally, there was a parallel to Khelif's fight. Just like there, her opponent burst into tears after the fight.
