It happened.
Taiwanese male boxer Lin Yu-Ting advanced to the gold medal round in the female featherweight boxing division.
He is the second male in a gold medal round. Male boxer Imane Khelif will fight for the gold in the female welterweight division.
Two males are guaranteed at least a silver in female boxing.
Yu-Ting defeated Turkey’s Esra Yildiz Kahraman.
Yu-Ting faces Poland’s Julia Szeremeta on Saturday.
Kahraman held her own, thank goodness, but “the judges awarded Yu-Ting the win with each of them scoring the fight 10-9.”
FairPlayWomen has a thread of the fight. Unlike their tweets of Khelif’s fight, X has not removed them…yet.
