Two divers, both men, represented Egypt in 1928. It was the nation's debut appearance in the sport. [[Farid Simaika]] competed in both the springboard and platform events, taking bronze in the former and silver in the latter. Simaika originally was announced as the winner of the platform contest, as his average score of 99.58 was the highest. However, the event officials then announced that 4 of the 5 judges had scored American [[Pete Desjardins]] higher than Simaika and therefore Desjardins was the winner under the rules in place at the time.

Four wrestlers, all men, represented Egypt in 1928. It was the nation's third appearance in the sport. [[Ibrahim Moustafa]] earned Egypt's first medal in wrestling, a gold, by winning the men's light heavyweight Greco-Roman event. He had finished 4th in the event at the 1924 Games. Moustafa's medal was only Egypt's second in any sport; he missed becoming the first Egyptian Olympic champion only because his event finished one week after [[El-Sayed Nosseir]]'s weightlifting event.

Main article: Wrestling at the 1928 Summer Olympics

Four wrestlers, all men, represented Egypt in 1928. It was the nation's third appearance in the sport. Ibrahim Moustafa earned Egypt's first medal in wrestling, a gold, by winning the men's light heavyweight Greco-Roman event. He had finished 4th in the event at the 1924 Games. Moustafa's medal was only Egypt's second in any sport; he missed becoming the first Egyptian Olympic champion only because his event finished one week after El-Sayed Nosseir's weightlifting event.
