In the round-of-16 on August 1, Angela Carini of Italy flung her headgear to the ground and wept after receiving only two devastating strikes from Khelif.
The police officer from Naples stated that she had never been struck so hard in her life, as she was defeated by her opponent from across the Mediterranean in a mere 46 seconds.
Rafa Lozano, the Spanish national coach, has now disclosed that Khelif was deemed too hazardous to be paired with women at a boxing retreat in Madrid prior to the Olympics.
“They were conducting a retreat at Blume, and we were unable to assign her to a partner,” he stated to Radio Marca.
