2024 Olympics schedule August 9: Boxer Imane Khelif fights for gold medal

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif's tumultuous Paris Olympics run culminates Friday with a gold-medal bout, while gold medals will be awarded in track and field, beach volleyball, soccer and breaking as the 2024 Olympics begin to wind down. Khelif will win either a gold or a silver medal when she fights Yang Liu of China in the final of the women’s welterweight division. Winning a gold medal is what Khelif has said is the best response to the worldwide scrutiny she has faced over misconceptions about her gender since her first opponent of the Paris Games, Angela Carini of Italy, tearfully quit after just 46 seconds, saying she was in too much pain from Khelif’s punches.
