  • World Boxing said its eligibility policy does not prevent Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting from participating in its events after the Olympic champion was reportedly withdrawn from a tournament over her gender eligibility.

The article from Reuters discusses the eligibility of Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-tang for the World Boxing Championships. The International Boxing Association (IBA) has confirmed that Lin, who was initially barred from competing due to a dispute over his eligibility, can now participate in the event. This decision came after the IBA reviewed Lin's case, which involved a mix-up with another athlete from Chinese Taipei. The IBA's reversal allows Lin to compete in the championships, which are crucial for boxers aiming to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The article highlights the ongoing tensions between sports governance and geopolitical issues, particularly concerning Taiwan's participation in international sports under its own name.
