If the Egyptian was even so much as willing to shake her Israel opponent’s hand, that would be a fairly big improvement over the typical Arab attitude towards Israeli athletes.

In the semi-final, Kartysh met the African champion, Anas Mostafa of Egypt. At the beginning of the match, Mostafa refused to shake hands with her.

During the fight, she broke two of the Israeli's fingers and bit her in the back – causing her to bleed. At the end of the match, unsurprisingly, she refused to shake hands with her again
