Paris Olympics: Imane Khelif targets gold, asks for an end to 'gender bullying'

The Algerian boxer, who has found herself at the centre of a gender eligibility debate, called for an end to the "bullying and negative rhetoric" after guaranteeing herself an Olympic medal in the women's 66kg category, becoming the first woman from her country to achieve this milestone. Khelif beat Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori to secure her place in the semi-finals, where she will face Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng on Tuesday.
