  Тяжёлая атлетика

Каждый НОК самостоятельно выбирает категорию в которой выступит её тяжелоатлет. В рамках соревнований проводятся два упражнения - рывок и толчок. В каждом из упражнений спортсмену даётся 3 попытки. Победитель определяется по сумме двух упражнений. При равенстве результатов победа присуждается спортсмену, с меньшим собственным весом.

Самой молодой участницей в египетской сборной по тяжёлой атлетике стала Эсра Ахмед , выступавшая в категории до 63 кг . Но несмотря на существенную разницу в возрасте со своими соперницами Эсра стала лучшей в подгруппе В, где помимо неё выступало ещё 6 спортсменок. После того, как все тяжелоатлетки из группы A выполнили рывок Эсра опустилась на 6-ю позицию, однако от третьего места её отделяло всего 8 кг. Но толчок всегда был слабой стороной египтянки и по его итогам она очень много проиграла своим соперницам, но с результатом 216 кг заняла высокое итоговое 7-е место.

  Fencing

In individual competitions, athletes fight three rounds of three minutes, or until one of the athletes delivers 15 injections.
