Fan demands for opponent’s disqualification stemming from ‘disgusting’ Instagram posts added fuel to the fire of controversy surrounding today’s match.
Even though Hamori, who was representing Hungary, faced Khelif today, a string of postings she made in the days leading up to the match were insulting and rude.
An photograph she posted to her Instagram story seemed to include disparaging remarks about the Algerian, which prompted a reaction.
An elongated,’masculine’ figure adorned with devil horns stood in opposition to a slender, ‘feminine’ lady.
Some fans thought Hamori was implying that Khelif is a beast in light of the gender claims that have been circulating.
Luca Hamori’s racist comments toward Imane Khelif violate the Athletes’ Declaration, as numerous online users have pointed out. To keep the spirit of sportsmanship and respect alive, this must be resolved.
