Yu Tin Lin came to the mixing zone in tears after defeating Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Kamenova in the most controversial match of the day’s Olympic boxing tournament. When asked why he was crying, Lin said: “It was a very difficult step to guarantee myself a medal, but I faced a very respectable opponent. However, defeating such an opponent cannot make me relax because I have to improve and do and the next steps, even better, until I defeat all my opponents and achieve my goal of winning the gold medal.”
However, the guaranteed distinction against the strong Bulgarian was the reason for her tears.
When asked what worried her at the beginning, because she looked a little tight, Lynn replied: “Since I was facing a very strong opponent, I was not sure what tactics the Bulgarian would use to do what the coach told me – to defend and to give my best in the ring. That’s what I tried to do – I enjoyed the game, the match. I received a lot of support – both in the hall and in my homeland of support”.
Regarding the social media messages, Lin said she didn’t read them because she deactivated her accounts everywhere. But she knew that the entire population of Taiwan supported and stood behind her. “I will take this strength to reach the end. Yes, I have already won a bronze medal, but there are two more victories from the final goal,” Yu Tin Lin also said after the match with Svetlana Kamenova.
Lin did not answer questions about the controversy over the presence of X and Y chromosomes.
