Against the spectacular drop of Les Invalides, he crossed the line ahead of Belgium's Bashir Abdi Kenya's Benson Kipruto.
KHELIF TRIUMPHS
Imane Khelif beat China's Yang Liu to claim the gold medal via unanimous decision in her welterweight bout in front of a packed house of adoring Algerian fans at Roland Garros.
