Algerian Boxer Qualifies for Tokyo Olympics

Renowned Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has triumphed in her opening Olympic boxing bout, securing her place in the Tokyo Olympics. Her opponent, Angela Carini of Italy, withdrew from the match, handing Khelif the victory.

Algeria enjoyed a remarkable day at the Olympic qualifiers, with seven boxers qualifying for Tokyo. Morocco also had a successful day, with four boxers securing their places and two more still in contention.

Khelif's victory comes amidst controversy surrounding her participation in the Olympics. Algeria's Olympic Committee has condemned baseless attacks on the boxer and denounced any attempts to discredit her achievements.

Algerian Boxing Success

Algeria's national boxing team has a strong history of success, representing the country at major international competitions. The team's Olympic achievements include gold medals from Mohamed Allalou in 1996 and Hocine Soltani in 2012.

The Olympic qualifiers are a crucial stage in the Olympic boxing tournament, with boxers from around the world competing for a limited number of places in Tokyo. Khelif's victory is a testament to her skill and determination, and she will now be hoping to make a strong run in the Olympics.
