This cultural conflict is not something we will get involved in, according to Bach, who made this statement via Variety.
Carini apologized to the Algerian fighter right after their fight; she had previously said that she had “never felt a punch like this” before leaving the contest.
She stated her intention to “apologize” to Khelif and everyone else in an interview with the Italian sports publication Gazzetta dello Sport, where she discussed her decision not to shake Khelif’s hand.
My Olympic dreams had been dashed, and I was furious about it. She went on to say, “I’m sad about all this controversy…
” My opponent is also in my thoughts. It is their choice, and I will respect it, if the IOC says she may compete.
