Algeria earns two medals
Algeria has secured at least two boxing medals at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, after Sirine Kessal won bronze in the under-51kg category and Bouthaina Ben Salah reached the semifinals in the 48kg category, guaranteeing at least a bronze medal. Kessal lost her semifinal to Venezuela’s Garcia, 5–0, while Ben Salah defeated Nigeria’s Maiwa Shukurag by the same score. She will face an Italian boxer in the semifinal. The two athletes’ achievements brought to mind Imane Khelif’s gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, amid hopes of continuing to build a new generation of Algerian boxers.
