Angela Carini, the Italian boxer who lost to Algeria's Imane Khelif in just 46 seconds at the Paris Olympics 2024, told Italian media on Friday that she felt sorry for her and even apologised for not shaking her hand amid the gender controversy. Khelif, who was disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) in 2023 after failing to meet "eligibility criteria", was called a 'biological man' by social media users and her win led a massive controversy. Carini broke down after her defeat to Khelif in a highly emotional interview but she said on Friday that she was angry because of her defeat and not because of her opponent.
