Part 3/9:
The Games also celebrated the rise of global sports stars, including Simone Biles from the USA, judoka Teddy Riner from France, and Cuban wrestler Mijain Lopez. However, not all stories from the event were positive. Controversy erupted in women’s boxing when athletes Imani Kelifi from Algeria and Lining from Taiwan were accused of presenting male chromosomes during tests prior to competition. The International Olympic Committee dismissed any controversy, and both athletes ultimately took home gold medals in their respective weight classes.
