Following this significant win, she joyfully sat on her coach's shoulders, arms raised in triumph, amid cheers from the lively audience at Roland Garros stadium.
While Khelif's victory shines brightly, her journey at the Paris Olympics was filled with challenges both inside and outside the ring. She faced external conflicts, notably a gender dispute, after her former opponent, Italian boxer Angela Carini, conceded the match just 46 seconds into the fight due to powerful blows from the Algerian athlete.
