Imane Khelif: Algeria's decision makes noise
Imane Khelif, Olympic boxing champion, will be Algeria's flag bearer in the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This was announced by the Algiers Federation, which wanted to celebrate in this way its gold medalist athlete, who is extremely popular in her homeland after her victory in the Olympic tournament. Khelif, who è been at the center of a storm throughout the Games for her high testosterone level, will be joined by middle distance runner Djamel Sedjati.
Same decision for Taiwan: the Taipei delegation will beà headed by boxer Lin Yu Ting, also in the crosshairs for the same reason as Khelif.
The ceremony will take place on Sunday evening and will feature several stars including Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. During the ceremony, there will be a relay between Paris 2024 and Los Angeles organizers, who will hold the next Olympics in 2032. "Ità will be an incredible spectacle for a global audience, giving fans a message of whatò will come in 2028", said LA 28 President Casey Wasserman.
