00:00Hey everyone! Today, we have an incredible story of resilience and triumph. Meet Iman Khalif,
00:05the Algerian boxer who has just secured her spot in the Olympic boxing final in Paris.
00:11You won't want to miss this. Iman Khalif, a 25-year-old welterweight boxer from Algeria,
00:17has faced an intense journey to get here. She was disqualified from last year's world championships
00:22due to unspecified eligibility criteria. But despite the gender row that surrounded her,
00:28Khalif never gave up. The controversy ramped up when Khalif faced Italy's Angela Carini in the
00:34round of 16. Carini, hit hard within 46 seconds, had to abandon the match, describing it as the
00:41most painful punch she had ever felt. Despite the backlash and online bullying, Khalif's
00:47determination only grew stronger. Khalif then dominated Hungary's Ana Luka Hamory in the
00:52quarterfinal. Just recently, she took on Thailand's John James Suanafang in the semifinal
00:58and emerged victorious with a unanimous decision. Now, she's on her way to the final, with her eyes
01:04set on Olympic gold. In an interview, Khalif called for people to uphold the Olympic principles
01:10and refrain from bullying athletes. She shared her gratitude towards the International Olympic
01:16Committee for allowing her to compete and expressed her hope to turn this crisis into a golden
01:21triumph. Iman Khalif's journey is a testament to strength and perseverance.
01:26What do you think about her story? Do you think she'll bring home the gold?
