The Egyptian athlete Samar Hamza has recently won a gold medal in wrestling in Algeria, and she became the African champion in wrestling. Her medal was not the first for her, but she still dreams of earning an Olympic medal. Yet, her dream has become closer to the reality as she was qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Though Egypt has won several medals in wrestling, no woman has ever achieved an Olympic medal in the sport. Since Amsterdam 1928 to Rio de Janeiro 2016, Egypt won eight Olympic medals in wrestling.
I wish the best of Samar and all Egyptian athletes who work hard to get medals and achieve new records for their country.
