Lin Yu-ting (Chinese: 林郁婷; pinyin: Lín Yùtíng; born 13 December 1995) is a Taiwanese boxer from New Taipei City.[2] As a child, Lin and her older brother watched the anime Hajime no Ippo, which inspired her to consider boxing.[3] Lin also learned boxing in an effort to protect her mother from domestic abuse.[4]

Career

Lin won a gold medal at the 2018 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships as a bantamweight, followed by a medal at the 2019 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships.[5][2]

Lin was disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championships organised by the Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA) after failing unspecified gender eligibility tests.[6] She was stripped of a bronze medal, which was instead awarded to Bulgaria's Svetlana Staneva.[7] The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its Paris Boxing Unit criticized the disqualification as "sudden and arbitrary" and taken "without any due process".[8][9][10] The Washington Post stated, "It remains unclear what standards [Imane] Khelif and Lin Yu Ting failed [in 2023] to lead to the disqualifications".[11][12] The IBA did not reveal the testing methodology, stating the "specifics remain confidential".[13] IOC President Thomas Bach defended the participation of Khelif and Lin: "There was never any doubt about them being a woman."[14]

Upon her return to Taiwan, however, Lin underwent additional tests that confirmed her eligibility. In 2023, she successfully competed at the Hangzhou Asian Games, where she confirmed her eligibility and won Taiwan's first gold medal in boxing at the event.[7]

2024 Summer Olympics

The IBA's Olympic status was revoked in June 2023,[15] due to governance issues and perceived judging and refereeing corruption.[13][16] As a result, the boxing events in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics were managed by the IOC's Paris 2024 Boxing Unit.[17][18] She has made it to the quarter-finals of the women's 57 kg category.
