"Lin Yu-ting has won a bronze medal at the Asian Boxing Elite Championships in her first competition since a gender-eligibility row overshadowed her Olympic gold medal-winning performance at the 2024 Paris Games."
"Lin opted not to compete in the world championships last year after the governing body, World Boxing, announced that women boxers would have to undergo mandatory sex testing as part of a new eligibility policy."
"Tseng said the boxer had her sights set on competing at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, later this year, emphasizing that losing this time isn't a bad thing."
Lin Yu-ting secured a bronze medal at the Asian Boxing Elite Championships, marking her first competition since a gender eligibility controversy followed her Olympic gold. Competing in the 60kg division after previously winning in 57kg, she lost in the semifinals to North Korea's Won Un Gyong. Lin's coach noted the challenges of adapting to new opponents and emphasized the importance of learning from this experience. After being cleared to compete in the female category, Lin aims to participate in the upcoming Asian Games in Japan.
