Boxer Lin Yu-ting of Taiwan clinched her first Olympic medal Sunday in front of a crowd that chanted her name at the Paris Games, one day after fellow boxer Imane Khelif of Algeria secured one as well following days of online abuse and intense scrutiny about their participation.
Lin defeated Svetlana Kamenova Staneva of Bulgaria in a women’s 57-kilogram quarterfinal, earning her second straight unanimous decision and advancing to the division’s semifinal round to ensure she will win at least a bronze medal.
Lin and Khelif have been at the center of a clash over gender identity and regulations in sports, as critics have brought up their disqualification from the world championships last year after the banned International Boxing Association claimed they failed unspecified eligibility tests for women’s competition.
What other implications are you sure about? Because so far the only one you’ve implied is that someone could die in the ring, which happens anyway. It doesn’t even need to be because of a hard punch. It could just be contact in a place that already had damage that the boxer wasn’t even aware of.
So let’s hear the other implications.

How many women have men killed in the ring? Exactly how many? Because I’m betting it’s zero. Meaning you have nothing to base that claim on.
So I’m still waiting to hear the implications.

In which case, what are the implications?
