He then faced a Cypriot judoka in the bronze-medal bout and emerged victorious.
It is Egypt’s second medal at the Youth Olympic Games, following Zein Hesham’s gold in the 100-meter butterfly, which he won in 52.16 seconds.
Senegal is hosting the 2026 Youth Olympic Games from October 30 to November 13, with 45 Egyptian athletes competing in 19 sports.
