NAGOYA, Japan (Reuters): Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting won gold in the women's 60kg category at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Friday, two years after being embroiled in a gender-eligibility row at the Paris Olympics.
Lin and Algerian Imane Khelif both won gold in Paris amid a gender dispute over their eligibility. Lin was cleared to compete earlier this year after World Boxing completed a review of her sex-eligibility status.
Lin beat China's Yang Chengyu 5-0 at the Nishio Gymnasium to win her second Asian Games gold, using her reach to good effect and hitting on the counter to prevail.
"In this competition, I’m like a newborn calf...or a little white rabbit that has wandered into a great forest," said Lin, whose both Paris and Hangzhou titles came in the 57kg category.
"None of my opponents was ordinary. Every one of them was incredibly strong and powerful.
"I don’t think there was a single one of my four bouts where I didn’t end up on the ground at some point. That shows just how difficult this competition was.”
Yang said she struggled to cope with the taller Lin's style.
"In the second round, I felt that I wasn’t really able to make much happen. Later on, I think I did an OK job but perhaps the judges didn’t really like that kind of style," she added.
"She is really tall and, in training, we don’t often face someone of that height so that distance can feel unfamiliar."
India's Lovlina Borgohain gave herself a birthday present by beating China's Bao Ziyi to win the women's 75kg gold.
"It’s very special. I think it’s the first time that I get a present for myself," said Borgohain, who turned 29 on Friday.
"This is my second Asian Games, and I had silver at the last Asian Games. So I was fully confident that I could get the gold medal."

日本名古屋（路透社）：台湾拳击手林玉婷周五在爱知-名古屋亚运会女子60公斤级比赛中获得金牌，两年前她曾在巴黎奥运会上卷入性别资格争议。
林书豪和阿尔及利亚选手伊曼·赫利夫在巴黎奥运会上双双夺得金牌，但她们的参赛资格却引发了一场性别争议。今年早些时候，世界拳击联合会完成了对林书豪性别资格的审查，之后她被允许参赛。
林在西尾体育馆以5比0击败中国选手杨成宇，赢得她的第二枚亚运会金牌。她充分利用自己的臂展优势，并在反击中取得胜利。
“在这场比赛中，我就像一头刚出生的小牛……或者一只误入大森林的小白兔，”林说道，她在巴黎和杭州的冠军头衔都是在57公斤级获得的。
“我的对手没有一个是普通人。他们每个人都非常强大。”
“我觉得我参加的四场比赛中，没有一场没有被摔倒在地。这足以说明这场比赛有多么艰难。”
杨表示，她很难适应身材高大的林的穿衣风格。
“第二轮比赛中，我觉得自己没能发挥出应有的水平。后来，我觉得自己表现得还不错，但也许评委们不太喜欢那种风格，”她补充道。
“她个子很高，在训练中，我们很少遇到这么高的对手，所以这种距离感会让我们感到不习惯。”
印度选手洛夫琳娜·博尔戈海恩击败中国选手包子怡，赢得女子75公斤级金牌，为自己送上了一份生日礼物。
“这很特别。我想这是我第一次收到送给自己的礼物，”博尔戈海恩说道，他周五刚满29岁。
“这是我第二次参加亚运会，上届亚运会我获得了银牌。所以我很有信心能够拿到金牌。”
