She went on to defeat Yang Liu of China to win 66kg gold medal in female boxing. Imane Khelif is not transgender, but has high testosterone level.

God determines everyone's gender, and no matter what our personal feelings may be or how confused we may feel, we should act in accordance with God's biological design. Transgenderism/Sodomy is an act that falls short of God's glory (Romans 3:23) and is in direct rebellion against the naturally created order of God (Romans 1:26-27)). God’s created order has only two genders, male and female (Genesis 5:2/Matthew 19:4) . According to God, transgenderism does not exemplify obedience to God's natural laws and is an act that falls short of God's glory. To pretend to be something you are not, is NOT a civil rights issue, it IS a right to sin in a sinful and wicked world issue. NOTE: *** If you have a prostate, you are a biological man. If you have an ovary you, are a biological woman. Period. ***

Women have come a long way since competing in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900, also in Paris. That year, women represented only 2.2% of all participants. Sport can change lives. This includes promoting leadership, teamwork, self reliance and confidence in women. Gender parity also benefits economies and societies more widely. Progress in closing gender gaps means more growth, innovation, and resilience for countries. “We will keep leading the way and using the power of sport to contribute to a more equal and inclusive society.” International Olympic Committee Mind School by Leadership Next

Did the furore over Imane Khelif mean anything for how sport approaches the transgender issue, or for the broader culture war? It had a few peculiarities that might mean the answer to that question is no... In this story, I try to untangle the threads.
