The row between Rasmus Overby and Elaine Hanson made headlines.
Now Overby reveals what he told her.
“Lovely face,” said Göteborgs-Posten.
It got really annoying in the final series of handball between Sävehof and Skuru at the end of May. Sävehoft coach Rasmus Overbey verbally attacked Skurus Ellen Hanson He was later accused of commenting on her appearance.
– It’s okay, Hanson said afterwards.
But neither she nor Overby wanted to reveal what was said.
Until now.
In an interview with Göteborgs-Posten, Overby broke the silence and admitted that he called her the “beloved face”.
“Weeping a lot”
But he insists the comment was not about her appearance.
It’s a word that’s often used in our house when our five-year-old son, Theodore, moans a lot. Then we often say “Stop, baby.” It was because I thought she was moaning a lot, which is why I told her. Not that I would discriminate against her appearance. It was about her actions, Overby tells the GP.
Apologize
In retrospect, he regrets the choice of words.
– I think she interpreted it as if I was trying to move on with her looks. How did you interpret it, I’m sorry. That’s why I go out and apologize to her. But I don’t think “lovely face” is too serious, I’ve experienced much worse during my career. But I would be lying if I said that I was also not moved by her grief. This was not my intention, in my opinion. This is what I regret the most. He says I didn’t think about the consequences and meaning of the word at that moment.
