Listen to this articleThailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng will face Algeria's Imane Khelif in the women's 66kg semi-finals tonight. Sudaporn lost 3-2 to top seed and eventual champion Kellie Harrington of Ireland, but only after becoming Thailand's first female boxer to win a Games medal. Janjaem, however, is also in top form after her stunning victory over top-ranked Busenaz Surmeneli of Turkey in the quarter-finals. Thailand have sent eight boxers -- three men and five women -- to Paris and Janjaem is the only one left in the tournament. There were 27 runners competing in three semi-finals, and Puripol came ninth in third semi-final.
