The Para sport story of Egypt.
Egypt’s Para powerlifting tradition connects established champions with a newer generation of international winners. Sherif Osman’s Rio 2016 gold was followed by Mohamed Elmenyawy’s Paris 2024 success and first world title at Cairo 2025. IPC coverage also documents Egypt’s role as a championship host, providing a home stage on which its athletes competed alongside leading lifters from around the world.
