In an official announcement, Google’s most searched athlete of the year 2024 on the global stage has been revealed.
Google has officially announced that Algerian boxing star Imane Khelif emerged as the most searched athlete worldwide in 2024.
Khelif’s remarkable ascent to global recognition was driven by her gold-medal victory in the women’s 66kg boxing event at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Her journey to Olympic glory was not without challenges, as she faced a gender controversy during the competition.
Khelif had previously been disqualified from the 2023 World Boxing Championship by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to the presence of XY chromosomes.
However, the International Olympic Committee later declared her eligible to compete, allowing her to participate in the Paris Games.
This mix of controversy and her stellar performance captivated audiences around the globe, propelling Khelif to become the most searched athlete on Google in 2024.
