Lin Yu-Ting has been in the news since the beginning of the Paris Olympics. Many experts and fans claimed that she should not have been allowed to compete. It was all because the IBA boxing federation disqualified the Taiwanese from last year's world championships after she allegedly tested positive for XY chromosomes and elevated testosterone levels. However, the IOC did not consider these tests credible and allowed her to compete in Paris.
And there Yu-Ting achieved the greatest success of her career – she won gold, defeating Julia Szeremeta in the final. Despite this, speculations about her gender and the validity of competing with women do not cease. The Taiwanese woman tries to put an end to the rumors. How? Not so long ago, she took part in a photo shoot in which she showed a completely different version, more feminine, which caused a huge stir. “Is there any antidote for fainting?”, “I'm at work, don't tempt me” – fans wrote. Now the boxer has decided to take the next step.
Lin Yu-Ting took part in a photoshoot promoting Taipei Fashion Week. What a transformation
Lin Yu-Ting will be taking part in a major event in the fashion world. She took advantage of an offer from the Taiwanese Ministry of Culture to appear as one of the special guests at Taipei Fashion Week, which will take place from October 17-21. But that's not all.
Yu-Ting is also featured on posters promoting the event. They have already hit the web. The Taiwanese model is pictured in the company of other models in a local store. She is wearing long black pants and a short white T-shirt. She has a black tie around her neck and a red jacket on her shoulders. The boxer's face is also covered in a plaster. Some of the models are also made up as if they had been in a fight moments earlier.
Why was Yu-Ting chosen for this project? “The Ministry of Culture has openly admitted that it has chosen the Olympic gold medalist as the main visual heroine for Taipei Fashion Week because she perfectly represents the unique charm of Taiwanese fashion. She does this with an image full of self-confidence. She is the pride of Taiwan and symbolizes determination, courage, and breakthrough. Her participation in this event makes the main vision of Fashion Week even stronger,” we read on etoday.net.
The award has already been received by the model herself. “It's an honor for me to be able to participate in the main visual session of Taipei Fashion Week and visit famous places in our country with models,” she emphasized on Instagram.
Taiwanese media delighted with Yu-Ting
Yu-Ting's next photoshoot is already being written about by media all over Taiwan. And they are complimenting the boxer. “Lin Yu-Ting's superpower is making Taiwan seasick! The leading supermodel becomes a heroine, and her charm is growing” – this is the opinion of the style.ltn.com.tw portal. The local “Vogue” also writes about a slightly different version of the Taiwanese woman, pointing out that the boxer is making an increasingly bigger mark on the fashion world.
“From track and field to the ring, from a Taiwanese athlete to an Olympic gold medalist, to being chosen as the visual heroine of Taipei Fashion Week. We also saw her on the cover of 'Vogue'. She also appeared in many boutique events. There is no doubt – Lin Yu-Ting has entered the fashion path, and this journey is long and fast. Her bold and elegant, yet unique style has become a new, dazzling topic in the fashion circle,” we read.
