some quick notes why the Egyptians are disappointed with the performance:
- Sports Minister said we will get 10 medals
- Nada Hafez - Fencing Sabre competed while pregnant (7 months) and no one knows from the Egyptian Fencing federation nor the ministry (you know why? federation didn't see her for months and doesn't care) ..by the way she won in round of 32 against USA and achieved the best female place in Egyptian fencing history
- a player has been accused with sexual assault and has been released later as footage doesn't show (serious conduct)
- Hammer player Moustafa El- Gamal has no coach since Nov 2023 and when he complained after the game the president of athletic federation said he is a low class anyway! ..by the way he is the African record holder and the only Egyptian won gold medal in African athletic championship 2024
- Omar Assar - Table tennis said the federation has claimed a fund for a training camp with 100 K (Dollars or Euro don't know) and the paper said he was there but actually he was at home and no one knows where are the money ..actually every one know.
there are 6-7 more points but I feel sick continue ...other than that everything perfect and Ministry of Sport is celebration the great success !!!!!!

ExpandThe weights lifted by Karim, Neema and Abdel Latif in weightlifting do not guarantee a medal unless the competitors withdraw or the level of the competitors declines during the match.
Hello Mahmoud,
No one in the Egyptian team guarantee a medal (except Sara) .. therefore I mentioned they are (competing) .. remaining athletes have much less chances compared to those ones.
are competing on 10 medals, statistically they can win 5-6 medals between:
Sara Samir Weightlifting 81 kg
Karim Kahla Weightlifting 89 kg
Neama Said Weightlifting 71 kg
Abd Ellatif Manea Wrestling GR 130 kg
Ahmed El-Gendy Modern Pentathlon
Mohanad Shabaan Modern Pentathlon
Seif Eissa Taekwondo 80 kg
Azmy Mehelba Shooting Skeet
Ziad El-sisy Fencing Sabre
Mohamed Hamza Fencing Foil
Edited by El AnalyzerYarisledise Cirilo (Women Canoeing)
Athletics Triple jump (could be 2 medals)
plenty in Boxing and wrestling
Nice topic ..I'll go with potential surprise medals (not the most obvious ones)
Sarah Chaari - Taekowndo -67 kg-W
I took some brave tablets and would say ... in basketball
I am adding a prediction here that I guess (hope) three countries to be on the podium:
1- could be via shooting skeet men
2- mainly in 400 hurdles men
3- presumably Canoeing
