it only took him 40 seconds to defeat our wrestler in Semis

Youssef Ramadan ( Swimming ) Mohamed Hamza ( Fencing ) Mohamed El Sayed ( Fencing )

2. done , 7.done , 5. very close yet far unfortunately , 8. looked possible for some minutes before Walsh returned to the final after being unqualified at 1st , 6. our sabre team was head to head with korea the whole match in teams and finished 5th overall , 3. nothing new another upsets , but it was heavily predicted this time , 4. another upset by Azmy whom i lost hope upon wining an Olympic medal some day , it wasn't really different in men's trap , 1. nothing new also all of them were terribly bad

When I heard about Turkmenistan first medal in Weightlifting, I thought Bein Sport Commentator just messed things up, because Nazarov won gold in Rio but now I remembered that he's from Tajikistan not Turkmenistan

1. Rate the performance on a scale of 1-10 I'd say 7, we got our best medal tally ever despite the fact that we didn't participate in Weightlifting where we could easily won 2 medals in, so yeah it was satisfying overall 2. What were the suprises and heartbreaks ? The biggest surprise for me is Hedaya Malak in Taekwondo , I didn't expect anything from Her, she hasn't done anything big since her bronze in Rio , Ferial's gold in Karate was kind of surprise for me I expected her to win a medal but not gold, Omar Assar qualifying to quarters in TT was a great surprise, this guy has very big qualities but didn't show it with NT since a very while ago, especially defeating Falck was a great moment, El Gendy going from 13 to Silver in MP after laser run was a very big pleasant surprise, he was absolutely flying whether in Shooting or Running, I know he's the best in this sport right now, but he proved that he can shine very early despite the very bad start in fencing with 2-7 record or even in Riding where he got all the 1st barrier, I though I'm watching another heartbreak MP riding after Aya Medany in Beijing, but he kept his nerves and made 284 At the end out of 300 , Mohamed El Sayed from nowhere reaching Men's epee quarters and losing only 15-13 to the bronze medalist was something really really surprising for me, our fencers overall made great performance here, t was only about very small details that kept us away from a deserved medal and I can't really forget the great comeback of Mohamed Hamza against the legendary Cassara in men's foil from 13-7 down to winning the match 15-13 , it was absolutely amazing, dominating games against Germany and Sweden in handball was also surprising , Mohamed Metwally reaching Semis in Greco-Roman -87 from nowhere was another surprise Heartbreaks : Many ? I'd say the loss against Spain in men's handball BMM was the biggest, I cried much after this loss, I mean why we always can lose in this way in handball when we are really close from winning something big, why u miss twice when u can lead with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes, this sport has always brought joy and cries to me, the 2nd one was Mohamed Ibrahim loss against Ukrainian wrestler in men's greco Roman -67 in the vary last 8 seconds after leading 6-0 and Ukrainian sitting on the mat, I can't really describe how gutted am I with this match, The failure of Mhelba's brothers in Shotgun, Abdelrahman Wael loss in Taekwondo -68 in the last 2 seconds with a punch from a very average Bosnian player was really heartbreaking 3.Was your country's goal achieved? I guess so, they expected to win 5 medals and got 6 4. Which are the sports that will be invested more in future? Current / Upcoming sports Nothing known in Egypt and nothing logical as well, but I guess Wrestling and Taekwondo are the best sports where we can invest in among weightlifting which both future of the Sport and Egyptian lifters As well are very unknown

Italy guaranteed a medal

i guess Linoy Ashram victory wasn't really in favor of Bulgarian team , it's really hard to rip Russia of both golds i think

Ofc , he'll always be the Olympic Champion, I guess your wrestlers and weightlifters are jealous now :D

Feryal is the 1st Egyptian woman to win a gold medal in history of Egypt

the Iranian is standing on the podium right now very normally thx god

1st Gold for Egypt since 2004 , well i feel i started to like Karate

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeendyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy , OMG i can't describe how happy iam right now this's a very big compensation for the handball heart break loss

very much deserved , an animal is an animal after all , it shouldn't be treated like that

as far as i remember all pentathletes struggled on this horse yesterday :D

this's not the correct ranking , they just put points of each athlete

do u have the current standing after 2 events ?

i'm really happy that this fixed-matches' sport is done on the Olympics and we won't see it again

i really like the idea of a stadium for all sports , it really looks nice

the last group are the best :D

i really laughed , that's truly funny

I really like the style of the Iranian too aggressive , that's what's wrestling about

little compensation for this guy after that heartbreak loss yesterday , 3rd bronze for Egypt in this games

thanks very much , it'd be historic if both happened especially Mohamed Ibrahim loss , i can't take it till now it was really harsh , but yeah i'm really but we still didn't win anything this team really raised the bar and they deserve a medal after this heartbreak loss against Denmark in WCH , i feel our chance would be much better against France for a medal than Denmark or Spain

so in the final also clear will qualify to jump-off or there'll be time ?

Mouda qualifies finally , it took to the last rider to decide his qualification
