Italian boxer Angela Carini is getting dragged online following one of her workout videos surfaces on social media.
Carini was at the center of Olympic controversy on Thursday after abandoning a boxing match against Algerian Imane Khelif, who was accused of being a biological male.
It’s since been revealed that Khelif, whose country does not allow transgender operations, was actually born a woman. But the discussion remains, and it doesn’t appear it’s going anywhere soon.
A video has surfaced on social media, as mentioned above, showing Angela bench-pressing a very light weight with confusing vigor.
“She’s bench pressing 10 pounds and wondering why she’s losing against another woman,” the X/Twitter user who posted the video, which was taken from the boxer’s Instagram account, captioned it.
Meanwhile, Carini has since offered an apology to Imane Khelif, saying she respects the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow the Algerian to fight.
She also expressed contrition for refusing to shake hands with Khelif after their brief bout, claiming her anger was directed at herself for having to end her Olympic dream prematurely.
