In the boxing ring, Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has made history by becoming the first woman from her country to secure a medal in the women's 66kg category. Her victory over Hungary's Anna Luca Hamori not only guaranteed Algeria's first boxing medal since 2000 but also propelled her into the semi-finals, where she is set to face Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng.
