Taiwan's Lin wins Asiad gold two years after Olympics gender row

Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting won women’s 60kg gold at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, two years after a gender-eligibility dispute at the Paris Olympics. Lin and Algeria’s Imane Khelif both won gold in Paris, then Lin was cleared earlier this year after World Boxing reviewed her sex-eligibility status. In Nagoya, Lin beat China’s Yang Chengyu 5-0 at Nishio Gymnasium to claim her second Asian Games gold. Lin said the bouts were extremely difficult, noting she was knocked down in all four of her fights at some point. Yang said Lin’s taller style was unfamiliar.
