Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not review the results of the women's boxing competitions at the 2024 Olympics. This was announced on June 26 by the organization's president, Kirsty Coventry. ![]() "Will there be retrospective decisions on the Paris Olympics regarding women's boxing? We will not do anything retrospectively," she said. Coventry noted that the main task of the IOC working group is to look to the future while learning from the past. As reported by Regnum news agency, on June 26, the President of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Umar Kremlev called on the Algerian boxer Iman Kheli, who failed the gender test, to return the gold medal from the 2024 Summer Olympics. On March 15, former IOC President Thomas Bach said that the gender scandal involving boxers at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris was caused by fake news from Russia. Last July, the IOC cleared two transgender athletes, Khelif and Lin Yuting from Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), to compete in women's boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympics. According to IOC spokesman Mark Adams, in this case the transgender athletes "were found to be women."
