Taiwan 's President Lai Ching-te among millions of people celebrating her victory.

Lin Yu-ting won the women's 57kg gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics .

She and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif became the centre of a gender eligibility row.

The pair were allowed to compete in Paris despite being disqualified from last year ’s World Championships after reportedly failing unspecified gender eligibility tests.

IOC judges justified the decision to include them saying they were "born and raised as women".

Mr Hsu added that the people's support made his cousin "fearless" He said it was "really moving to see so many people cheering for my cousin, and so many places live-streaming her games simultaneously" IOC President Thomas Bach had left the door open to revisiting the organisation’s own eligibility rules.
