The Italian boxer stressed that her behavior was due to disappointment with the result, noting that she did not want to be seen as a protest against Kelif’s participation in the Olympics.
“I was in no way judging Imane. Who am I to do that? The truth is that I don’t know much about my opponent except for one thing: We have nothing to blame her for and she has no responsibility. She is a woman competing in the Olympics, like me,” he said according to her Serra Courier.
To the question why she did not shake her hand to her opponent, who prevailed after 46″ she answered: “I was wrong. I left the ring full of rage. I’ve never done that before in my life. I always greeted my opponent. I apologize to Imane for not shaking her hand“, clarifying that there were no political pressures.
“All this controversy saddens me,” Carini added, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. “I’m also sorry for my opponent. If the IOC said he can compete, I respect that decision.” “Actually, I want to apologize to her and everyone else. I was angry because my presence in the Olympic games was over. I have nothing against Kelif. In fact, if I met her again I would hug her.”
