TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan’s Olympic boxing gold medalist Lin Yu-ting (林郁婷) has been cleared to compete in the Asian Boxing Elite Championships, ending a months-long gender testing dispute.

Chinese Taipei Boxing Association on Thursday said Lin received approval from World Boxing, per CNA. The tournament will run from March 28 to  April 11 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

With the 57 kg division removed from the championships, Lin and Wu Shih-yi (吳詩儀) competed domestically for a spot in the 60 kg category. Lin ultimately secured the berth, with Wu designated as a replacement if Lin was ineligible.

After the Paris Olympics, Lin had been barred from all World Boxing-sanctioned competitions due to new gender testing rules. Taiwan’s sports authorities formed a medical team last year and, via the boxing association, submitted medical data starting in August to appeal the decision.

Following more than six months of appeals, World Boxing’s medical committee confirmed Lin’s eligibility for the championships, effectively recognizing her status as a female. Her approval also indicates that her eligibility for the 2026 Asian Games should not be an issue.

Although Lin has not competed internationally for over 18 months, she has maintained regular training. After the Lunar New Year, she traveled to South Korea for a two-week training camp to stay in form.
