Wins Olympic Gold

Khelif wins the Olympic gold medal in the women’s boxing 66-kilogram (145-pound) beating Liu in a unanimous decision. All five judges had it 10-9 for Khelif in each round. After the win, a man in her corner hoisted the fighter onto his shoulders and took Khelif on a victory lap as the boxer held an Algerian flag over their head.

I’m very happy, God made that (happen), that’s my dream! This fight for a win. Amazing. I prepared eight years in USA, in Europe, all over the world for this victory. Olympic championship! Thank you so much!
