YouTube Description
as posted by the channelItalian boxer Angela Carini spoke out Friday about her match against Algerian Imane Khelif, who is one of two people involved in a gender controversy at the Paris Olympics.
Carini abandoned her match against Khelif about 46 seconds into their matchup. Carini was punched in the face twice and was heard yelling about the fairness of the fight to her coaches. She was in tears after the match and emotional while talking to reporters about the fight.
Carini told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport that she wanted to "apologize" to Khelif. "All this controversy makes me sad," Carini said, via BBC. "I'm sorry for my opponent, too. If the IOC said she can fight, I respect that decision."
Khelif will fight in the next round against Hungarian Luca Hamori.
The International Olympic Committee defended Khelif’s eligibility on Thursday as the gender controversy heated up.
"These two athletes were the victims of a sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA," the IOC said of Khelif and Taiwan’s Lin Yu-Ting. "Towards the end of the IBA World Championships in 2023, they were suddenly disqualified without any due process."
