Defeat against Khelif: “It’s not her fault!”
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has reached the semi-finals of the Olympic women's boxing tournament despite the heated gender debate and is therefore already guaranteed a medal. Her opponent Anna Luca Hamori had no bad thoughts against her: "Because it's not her fault!"
"I tried to behave in a sportsmanlike manner the whole time, and I can't say a bad word about my opponent either," said the defeated Hamori.
Before the fight, which was attended by numerous international media representatives, the Hungarian had made a provocative comment on the highly emotional discussion: "If she or he is a man, it would be an even bigger victory for me if I win."
"The last few days have been difficult for everyone"
After the fight, she explained: "I think the last few days have been difficult for everyone, for me and for her too, and that's why I wanted to show that I respect her and have no bad thoughts towards her, because it's not her fault. It happened the way it happened, we both got in the ring to fight and she's won now and it might be different in the future."
