'''[[Egypt]]''' is scheduled to compete at the '''[[2016 Summer Olympics]]''' in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016.
[[Egypt]] competed at the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's debut in [[1912 Summer Olympics|1912]], Egyptian athletes had appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games except [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932]] and [[1980 Summer Olympics|1980]], joining the [[1980 Summer Olympics boycott|United States-led boycott]] in the latter.


The [[Egyptian Olympic Committee]] sent its largest ever delegation to the Games, with a total of 120 athletes, 83 men and 37 women, competing across 22 sports. The Egyptian roster also witnessed more women participating at the Games than those who attended in London four years earlier, breaking its previous record by just a small fraction.<ref name=EGY-team>{{cite news |title=Egyptians pin Olympic hopes on fencing star |url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/08/egypt-olympic-games-rio-brazil-fencing-gold-medal.html |publisher=[[Al-Monitor]] |date=3 August 2016 |access-date=21 January 2017}}</ref>
==Athletics==
{{main|Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics}}
Egyptian athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):<ref>{{cite web|title=iaaf.org – Top Lists|url=http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/index.html|publisher=IAAF|accessdate=18 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=IAAF Games of the XXX Olympiad – Rio 2016 Entry Standards|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/media/file/559/IAAF%20Rio%202016%20standards.pdf|publisher=[[IAAF]]|accessdate=18 April 2015}}</ref>


Egypt returned home from Rio de Janeiro with three bronze medals, which matched its overall tally from the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in Athens. Moreover, these Games marked the first time Egyptian women ascended the Olympic podium in the nation's 104-year history.<ref>{{cite news |first=Reem |last=Abulleil |title=Arab countries' Rio 2016 performance breakdown |url=http://sport360.com/article/olympics/190280/arab-countries-rio-2016-performance-breakdown-three-gold-four-silver-and-nine-bronze-medals/ |publisher=[[Sport 360]] |date=22 August 2016 |access-date=21 January 2017}}</ref> These medals were distributed to taekwondo fighter [[Hedaya Malak]] ([[Taekwondo at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's 57 kg|women's 57 kg]]), as well as weightlifters [[Mohamed Ihab]] and former Youth Olympian [[Sara Ahmed (weightlifter)|Sara Samir]], who accomplished a historic feat as the first Arab woman to accept an Olympic medal in her sport.<ref>{{cite news |first=Reem |last=Abulleil |title=Arab countries' Rio 2016 performance breakdown |url=https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2016/8/11/rio-2016-egyptian-weightlifters-bring-home-two-bronze-medals/ |publisher=[[Al Araby (TV Channel)|Al Araby]] |date=11 August 2016 |access-date=21 January 2017}}</ref>
*Men's hammer throw – 1 quota place ([[Mostafa Al-Gamel]])

*Men's javelin throw – 1 quota place ([[Ihab El-Sayed]])
In addition to the success and historic firsts of the bronze medalists, several Egyptian athletes reached the finals of their respective events, but narrowly missed out on the podium. Among them were shooting team [[Afaf El-Hodhod]] (fifth, women's air pistol), freestyle wrestler [[Enas Mostafa]] (fifth, women's 69&nbsp;kg), and three others in weightlifting, namely [[Shaimaa Khalaf]] (fourth, women's +75&nbsp;kg), [[Ahmed Saad (weightlifter)|Ahmed Saad]] (fifth, men's 62&nbsp;kg), and [[Ragab Abdelhay]] (fifth, men's 94&nbsp;kg).

==Competitors==
The [[Egyptian Olympic Committee]] (EOC) confirmed a roster of 120 athletes, 83 men and 37 women, to compete across 22 sports at the Games. It was the nation's largest ever delegation sent to the Olympics, breaking its previous record of 110 athletes set in [[2012 Summer Olympics|2012]]. These Games also witnessed more Egyptian women participating than those who attended in London four years earlier, constituting about 30 percent of the overall squad.<ref name=EGY-team/><ref>{{cite news |title=Building No 17 |url=http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/News/16987/26/Building-No---.aspx |publisher=[[Al-Ahram Weekly]] |date=4 August 2016 |access-date=21 January 2017}}</ref>

[[Handball at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|Handball]] and [[Volleyball at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|volleyball]] (both played exclusively by men) were the only collective sports in which Egypt qualified for the Games, having both returned to the Olympic scene after their absence from [[London 2012]]. Egypt's women's [[Synchronized swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's team|synchronized swimming]] and women's [[Table tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's team|table tennis]] teams, however, participated for their third-straight and second-straight Games, respectively. For individual-based sports, Egypt marked its Olympic debut in women's beach volleyball, as well as its return to cycling after 16 years and diving after 32 years. Shooting accounted for the largest number of athletes on the Egyptian team, with 12 entries. There was a single competitor each in track cycling, equestrian jumping, artistic gymnastics, and sailing.

Of the 120 participants, twenty-eight of them returned to compete again, with the rest of the field attending their maiden Games in Rio de Janeiro. Among the returnees were foil fencer [[Alaaeldin Abouelkassem]], who became the first from an African nation to win an Olympic medal in his sport; and heavyweight judoka [[Islam El Shehaby]], who headed the roster as the lone Egyptian competitor going to his fourth straight Games.<ref name=EGY-team/> Eight Egyptian athletes competed at the [[2014 Summer Youth Olympics]] in Nanjing before their senior Olympic debut, including weightlifter [[Sara Ahmed (weightlifter)|Sara Samir]], modern pentathlete [[Haydy Morsy]], distance swimmer [[Ahmed Akram]], and shooters [[Afaf El-Hodhod]] (pistol) and [[Hadir Mekhimar]] (rifle).

Other notable athletes on the Egyptian roster featured modern pentathlon veteran [[Amro El-Geziry]] and his younger brother [[Omar El-Geziry|Omar]], world-ranked taekwondo fighter [[Hedaya Malak]], American-born swimming sprinter [[Farida Osman]], and 2014 world bronze medalist [[Azmy Mehelba]] in men's skeet shooting. 16-year-old Morsy was Egypt's youngest competitor, with volleyball team captain [[Ashraf Abouelhassan]] rounding out the field as the oldest member (aged 41). Handball star and three-time Olympian [[Ahmed El-Ahmar]] was selected by EOC to lead the Egyptian squad as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony.<ref>{{cite news |first=Omar |last=Zaazou |title=Ahmed El-Ahmar: A one-off handball Egypt talent at the Rio Olympics |url=http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsRio/236557.aspx |publisher=[[Al-Ahram Weekly]] |date=4 August 2016 |access-date=21 January 2017}}</ref>

==Judo==
{{main|Judo at the 2016 Summer Olympics}}
Egypt has qualified a total of five judokas for each of the following weight classes at the Games. Mohamed Mohy Eldin, Mohamed Abdelaal, [[Ramadan Darwish]], and three-time Olympian [[Islam El Shehaby]] were ranked among the top 22 eligible judokas for men in the IJF World Ranking List of 30 May 2016, while Ahmed Abdelrahman at men's extra-lightweight (60&nbsp;kg) earned a continental quota spot from the African region, as the highest-ranked Egyptian judoka outside of direct qualifying position.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.intjudo.eu/News/cikk3913 |title=IJF Officially Announces Qualified Athletes for Rio 2016 Olympic Games |date=23 June 2016 |publisher=[[International Judo Federation]] |access-date=24 June 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160707205937/http://www.intjudo.eu/News/cikk3913 |archive-date=7 July 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

El Shehaby lost his first match to Israel's [[Or Sasson]], but refused to bow or shake hands with him, resulting in a loud jeer from the crowd. When Sasson extended his hand to shake after the match, El Shehaby backed away, shaking his head.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/rio-olympics-2016-egypt-judo-fighter-islam-el-shehaby-refuses-to-shake-hands-israeli-or-sasson |title=Egyptian judo fighter refuses to shake Israeli opponent's hand |date=12 August 2016 |work=[[CBS News]] |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref> The referee called El Shehaby back to the mat and obliged him to bow, at which point El Shehaby gave a quick nod of his head. El Shehaby's conduct was widely condemned as unsportsmanlike. It is unclear what potential punishment El Shehaby or Egyptian judo as a whole could face, but his hopes of medaling were dashed regardless due to Sasson's decisive performance in the quarterfinals.

Before his match, El Shehaby was under pressure to forfeit, as Iranian [[Javad Mahjoub]] had done years earlier before his match with Or Sasson.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/08/11/fans-pressure-egyptian-judoka-not-to-shame-islam-by-contending-against-israeli-at-rio-olympics/ |title=Fans Pressure Egyptian Judoka Not to 'Shame Islam' by Contending Against Israeli at Rio Olympics |publisher=[[Algemeiner Journal]] |date=11 August 2016 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref>

El Shehaby's refusal to shake hands had precedent, in actions by another member of Egypt's team. Egyptian judoka [[Ramadan Darwish]] had refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent [[Ariel Ze'evi]], another Israeli Olympic bronze medalist, in both the 2011 Judo Grand Slam and the 2012 Judo Grand Prix.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/08/12/egypt-judo-handshake-israel_n_11479924.html |title=Egyptian Judo Athlete Refuses Israeli's Handshake |work=[[The Huffington Post]] |date=12 August 2016 |access-date=13 August 2016}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |url=http://www.espn.com/olympics/judo/story/_/id/17287176/islam-el-shehaby-egypt-refuses-shake-sasson-hand-judo-match-rio-olympics |title=Egyptian judoka refuses handshake with Israeli |date=12 August 2016 |publisher=[[ESPN]] |access-date=13 August 2016}}</ref>

The [[Egyptian Olympic Committee]], which had put pressure on El Shehaby to have the match with Sasson go on as planned, stated that El Shehaby's actions after the match were a personal decision. Both the [[International Olympic Committee]] and the [[International Judo Federation]] stated that they would review the incident.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesofisrael.com/egyptian-judoka-quits-sport-after-refusing-to-shake-israel-rivals-hand/ |title=Egyptian judoka quits sport after refusing to shake Israel rival's hand |publisher=[[Times of Israel]] |date=12 August 2016 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesofisrael.com/ioc-to-probe-egyptian-judokas-refusal-to-shake-israelis-hand/ |title=IOC to probe Egyptian judoka's refusal to shake Israeli's hand |publisher=[[Times of Israel]] |date=12 August 2016 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref>

The Disciplinary Committee of the International Olympic Committee issued a "severe reprimand" to El Shehaby for behavior violating "the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic Values", and he was sent home before the Olympics closing ceremony. The IOC Disciplinary Committee also requested that the Egyptian Olympic Committee in the future must ensure that all Egyptian athletes are properly educated as to the Olympic values, before they participate in the Olympic Games.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-olympics-rio-judo-egypt-israel-idUSKCN10Q1WC |title=Egyptian judoka sent home over handshake refusal with Israeli |work=Reuters|date=15 August 2016 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref>

==Modern pentathlon==

Egyptian athletes have qualified for the following spots to compete in modern pentathlon. Eslam Hamad and Haydy Morsy secured a selection each in the men's and women's event respectively by virtue of their top finish at the 2015 African Championships. Two-time Olympian [[Amro El-Geziry]], who finished behind Hamad at the African Championships, and his younger brother Omar ranked among the top 10 modern pentathletes, not yet qualified, in the men's event based on the [[Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne|UIPM]] World Rankings as of 1 June 2016. With the Egyptian men to guarantee their selection at the [[2016 World Modern Pentathlon Championships|2016 World Championships]], the choice of four modern pentathletes going to the Games was determined by the NOC. In the event, the Egyptian team decided to select them over Eslam Hamad, as the nation's top two on the list.<ref>{{cite news |last=Pontes |first=Leandro |url=http://www.pentathlon.org/uipm-announces-modern-pentathlon-olympic-qualified-athletes/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160712075807/http://www.pentathlon.org/uipm-announces-modern-pentathlon-olympic-qualified-athletes/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=12 July 2016 |title=UIPM Announces Modern Pentathlon Olympic Qualified Athletes |publisher=[[Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne|UIPM]] |date=2 June 2016 |access-date=10 June 2016}}</ref>

 United Arab Republic (1960, 1964)

Egypt competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's debut in 1912, Egyptian athletes had appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games except 1932 and 1980, joining the United States-led boycott in the latter.

The Egyptian Olympic Committee sent its largest ever delegation to the Games, with a total of 120 athletes, 83 men and 37 women, competing across 22 sports. The Egyptian roster also witnessed more women participating at the Games than those who attended in London four years earlier, breaking its previous record by just a small fraction.[3]

Egypt returned home from Rio de Janeiro with three bronze medals, which matched its overall tally from the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Moreover, these Games marked the first time Egyptian women ascended the Olympic podium in the nation's 104-year history.[4] These medals were distributed to taekwondo fighter Hedaya Malak (women's 57 kg), as well as weightlifters Mohamed Ihab and former Youth Olympian Sara Samir, who accomplished a historic feat as the first Arab woman to accept an Olympic medal in her sport.[5]

In addition to the success and historic firsts of the bronze medalists, several Egyptian athletes reached the finals of their respective events, but narrowly missed out on the podium. Among them were shooting team Afaf El-Hodhod (fifth, women's air pistol), freestyle wrestler Enas Mostafa (fifth, women's 69 kg), and three others in weightlifting, namely Shaimaa Khalaf (fourth, women's +75 kg), Ahmed Saad (fifth, men's 62 kg), and Ragab Abdelhay (fifth, men's 94 kg).

Medalists

Further information: 2016 Summer Olympics medal table and List of 2016 Summer Olympics medal winners

The following Egyptian athletes won medals at the Games. In the discipline sections below, medalists' names are bolded.

Competitors

[edit]

The Egyptian Olympic Committee (EOC) confirmed a roster of 120 athletes, 83 men and 37 women, to compete across 22 sports at the Games. It was the nation's largest ever delegation sent to the Olympics, breaking its previous record of 110 athletes set in 2012. These Games also witnessed more Egyptian women participating than those who attended in London four years earlier, constituting about 30 percent of the overall squad.[3][6]

Handball and volleyball (both played exclusively by men) were the only collective sports in which Egypt qualified for the Games, having both returned to the Olympic scene after their absence from London 2012. Egypt's women's synchronized swimming and women's table tennis teams, however, participated for their third-straight and second-straight Games, respectively. For individual-based sports, Egypt marked its Olympic debut in women's beach volleyball, as well as its return to cycling after 16 years and diving after 32 years. Shooting accounted for the largest number of athletes on the Egyptian team, with 12 entries. There was a single competitor each in track cycling, equestrian jumping, artistic gymnastics, and sailing.

Of the 120 participants, twenty-eight of them returned to compete again, with the rest of the field attending their maiden Games in Rio de Janeiro. Among the returnees were foil fencer Alaaeldin Abouelkassem, who became the first from an African nation to win an Olympic medal in his sport; and heavyweight judoka Islam El Shehaby, who headed the roster as the lone Egyptian competitor going to his fourth straight Games.[3] Eight Egyptian athletes competed at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing before their senior Olympic debut, including weightlifter Sara Samir, modern pentathlete Haydy Morsy, distance swimmer Ahmed Akram, and shooters Afaf El-Hodhod (pistol) and Hadir Mekhimar (rifle).

Other notable athletes on the Egyptian roster featured modern pentathlon veteran Amro El-Geziry and his younger brother Omar, world-ranked taekwondo fighter Hedaya Malak, American-born swimming sprinter Farida Osman, and 2014 world bronze medalist Azmy Mehelba in men's skeet shooting. 16-year-old Morsy was Egypt's youngest competitor, with volleyball team captain Ashraf Abouelhassan rounding out the field as the oldest member (aged 41). Handball star and three-time Olympian Ahmed El-Ahmar was selected by EOC to lead the Egyptian squad as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony.[7]

Judo

[edit]
Main article: Judo at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Egypt has qualified a total of five judokas for each of the following weight classes at the Games. Mohamed Mohy Eldin, Mohamed Abdelaal, Ramadan Darwish, and three-time Olympian Islam El Shehaby were ranked among the top 22 eligible judokas for men in the IJF World Ranking List of 30 May 2016, while Ahmed Abdelrahman at men's extra-lightweight (60 kg) earned a continental quota spot from the African region, as the highest-ranked Egyptian judoka outside of direct qualifying position.[22]

El Shehaby lost his first match to Israel's Or Sasson, but refused to bow or shake hands with him, resulting in a loud jeer from the crowd. When Sasson extended his hand to shake after the match, El Shehaby backed away, shaking his head.[23] The referee called El Shehaby back to the mat and obliged him to bow, at which point El Shehaby gave a quick nod of his head. El Shehaby's conduct was widely condemned as unsportsmanlike. It is unclear what potential punishment El Shehaby or Egyptian judo as a whole could face, but his hopes of medaling were dashed regardless due to Sasson's decisive performance in the quarterfinals.

Before his match, El Shehaby was under pressure to forfeit, as Iranian Javad Mahjoub had done years earlier before his match with Or Sasson.[24]

El Shehaby's refusal to shake hands had precedent, in actions by another member of Egypt's team. Egyptian judoka Ramadan Darwish had refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent Ariel Ze'evi, another Israeli Olympic bronze medalist, in both the 2011 Judo Grand Slam and the 2012 Judo Grand Prix.[25][26]

The Egyptian Olympic Committee, which had put pressure on El Shehaby to have the match with Sasson go on as planned, stated that El Shehaby's actions after the match were a personal decision. Both the International Olympic Committee and the International Judo Federation stated that they would review the incident.[27][28]

The Disciplinary Committee of the International Olympic Committee issued a "severe reprimand" to El Shehaby for behavior violating "the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic Values", and he was sent home before the Olympics closing ceremony. The IOC Disciplinary Committee also requested that the Egyptian Olympic Committee in the future must ensure that all Egyptian athletes are properly educated as to the Olympic values, before they participate in the Olympic Games.[29]
