Italian boxer Angela Carini has apologized after quitting her bout at the Paris Olympics in 46 seconds, a viral moment that has led to online abuse of her Algerian opponent, Imane Khelif. Khelif, a 25-year old light welterweight, landed a heavy first punch in Thursday’s bout with Angela Carini from Italy, dislodging her chinstrap. Subsequent blows pushed Carini back to her corner before she dropped to her knees. Following her loss to Khelif, Carini did not shake her opponent’s hand.
Broadhurst posted a picture of the pair before their 2022 match on X, saying: “Please, the hate has been ridiculous.” The controversy has not only overshadowed Khelif’s victory but also has implications for her privacy and safety. For example, in her home Algeria, freedom of self expression is severely limited – and being gay or transgender is illegal.
