Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting Wins Second Consecutive Asian Games Boxing Gold

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting won gold in the women's 57kg category at the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, securing her second consecutive title in the event three years after her victory at the 2023 Hangzhou Games.

Lin's win continues a successful run in the division, cementing her position as one of the top boxers in her weight class across recent major international competitions.

The athlete has drawn significant international attention in recent years over a gender-eligibility dispute that arose during competition under boxing's previous governing structure. The controversy made her one of the most closely watched athletes heading into the Aichi-Nagoya Games.

Her gold medal performance at these Games adds to a growing list of accolades in a career that has included multiple continental and world-level results. Organizers of the Asian Games have not commented further on the eligibility matter in connection with this year's competition.

The boxing competition in Aichi-Nagoya featured athletes from across Asia competing in multiple weight categories, with the Games serving as a key tune-up event for many competitors ahead of future international competitions.
