Egypt’s Men U23 Football Team lost against Brazil at the quarter finals, got eliminated short of a medal. Egypt’s Handball team qualifies to the quarter finals, it’s worth noting that earlier this year Egypt organized the handball world championship and was eliminated by Denmark, the current title holder, after several extra times were played on shootouts. Egypt has beaten the world’s handball runner-ups Sweden 27-22 at handball at Tokyo’s group stages and the hosts (Japan) at a narrow score of 33-29. Egypt has lost against the World Champions Denmark by the score of 32-27.
All of Egypt’s Men U23 football team players play for Egyptian clubs except Hegazi, usually the captain as he plays for Saudi Arabia’s Ittihad.

And in Handball a significant amount of players play for Egyptian teams, including Yehia El Deraa who scored the fastest shot at the current Olympics till now and plays for Egypt’s Zamalek SC.

Handball remains Egypt’s best bet on a Gold Medal. Speaking of Gold medals, the Egyptian-Qatari weightlifter Fares El Bakh has earned a gold medal at Tokyo representing Qatar, leaving rage aimed at the Egyptian sports federations and sponsors. Usually the Egyptian diaspora in the West and Arab countries represent Egypt like Nayel Nassar.

Max Whitlock defends olympic gold three times in a row amazing!

Great Britain's Max Whitlock retained his Olympic title with a sublime performance in Tokyo to win gold in the men's pommel horse.

The 28-year-old was first up in the event and immediately put the pressure on his rivals with a near-perfect routine that earned him a score of 15.583.
Three-time world champion Whitlock then watched on as the remaining seven gymnasts were unable to beat his score before his third career Olympic gold - and Britain's 10th of the Games - was confirmed.

Lee Chih-kai of Chinese Taipei was the only competitor to give Whitlock an anxious moment but his score of 15.400 was only good enough for silver. Japan's Kazuma Kaya took the bronze medal.

Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan had finished joint top of the qualifying standings but came off the apparatus early in his routine and finished seventh.

'I had to go all out'
Whitlock trained in an empty gym back home to try to recreate the sense of competing at an Olympics without any spectators.

He was not at his best during qualifying, admitting afterwards that nerves played a part, but he put it all together when it counted to win his sixth Olympic medal at his third Games.

"I feel lost for words," Whitlock told BBC Sport. "I am completely overwhelmed and it feels kind of surreal. I had seen the other sports, gold medals flowing in and I wanted to do the same here. Incredible journey."

Whitlock admitted the pressure of being the defending champion weighed heavily in the build-up to the Olympics.

"It is a million times harder," he added. "The pressure was there and I could feel it. Experience pays a lot in situations like this.

"Being first up meant I had to go all out. I couldn't watch the scores. I had to go all out. That was the biggest routine I had been training for. I couldn't have done any more.

BMX GLORY FOR UK AGAIN! The top nation for BMX.



Tokyo Olympics: GB's Charlotte Worthington wins BMX freestyle gold in dramatic final

Great Britain's Charlotte Worthington recovered from a fall on her first run to win a thrilling gold in the women's BMX park freestyle Olympic final.

The 25-year-old, who gave up work as a chef to focus on the sport in 2017, delivered an action-packed score of 97.50 to snatch gold on her second run.
The gripping action set the stage for Declan Brooks to seal bronze in the men's event, Britain's fourth BMX medal of a remarkable week.

The 25-year-old watched on as riders failed to surpass his mark of 90.80, with Australia's Martin Logan taking gold on 93.30.

Brooks' medal followed shortly after Worthington's superb victory. With no score of significance on the board after her fall, she simply had to deliver on run two and did so by becoming the first woman to land a 360-degree backflip in competition - the same trick that left her on the floor during run one.

She celebrated her score wildly and then watched as four rivals - including favourite Hannah Roberts - failed to usurp her mark.

"It was incredible," said Worthington when asked about the key backflip.

"I've not been doing that trick for so long but we've been trying to find that big banger trick and when we did we thought, 'this is the one'. If it wasn't for Hannah Roberts, we wouldn't be doing these tricks.

"It's a lot of hard work paid off."

Worthington's team celebrated wildly when her score of 97.50 was read out
Riders were ranked on their best score from their two runs and Worthington's 97.50 transferred all of the pressure to American Roberts, who appeared to be cruising to the title after she put up 96.10 on run one.

The 19-year-old - who had thrown her bike in the emotion of completing her first run - could not finish her second 60-second stint on the Tokyo course and, as the last rider to compete, her concession confirmed Worthington's champion status.

Roberts, the winner of all three World Cup events in BMX freestyle's last complete season in 2019 - looked shocked at the turnaround.

"There was definitely a lot going on," said Roberts, who beat Switzerland's Nikita Ducarroz into bronze. "My first run was good and I know there were places I could improve. I slipped up and hurt my ankle.

"I'm honoured to take second place to Charlotte. It's definitely an exciting time for our sport."

Medals for Worthington and Brooks follow gold and silver respectively for Britain's Bethany Shriever and Kye Whyte in BMX racing at the Games.

Worthington, a late convert to BMX, opted to give her role up as a chef in 2017 and told BBC Sport she had been "sweating it out in the kitchen for over 40 hours a week and barely had any time or energy to ride".

The move came with what she called a "lifestyle change" and she was keen to point out how personal development in her life away from the bike had laid the framework for her to sharpen her skills on it.

Worthington has said that the delay to Tokyo 2020 gave her more time to develop the tricks she would need on the big stage.

She has now won British, European and Olympic titles.

'I've cried but I'm stoked'


Tokyo Olympics: GB's Declan Brooks wins bronze medal in men's BMX freestyle final

Brooks, who almost missed out on the Games after knocking himself out during the World Championships in June, improved his first-run score to 90.80 and then watched on patiently as six riders followed him in the second run.

Only one, Venezuela's Daniel Dhers, managed to beat it, with Logan's score from his first run enough to secure gold.

Visibly emotional, Brooks told BBC Sport: "I've just cried for the last couple of minutes.

"It's an unbelievable journey I've had on the way here. I am just so stoked. I don't think it will sink in for a while. For Charlotte to do her things today and put a score and tricks up there that we had never seen before, it was even harder focusing.

"I knew the run I wanted to pull, I still missed a few bits out but, to be honest, I think that is all I had."

US winning more than half of their medals from estate swimming of the privileged ethnic group.And for the majority of the remaining ,they will rely on their African imports to deliver,ofcourse they also won some from their immigrant programs ,all while peddling hate and oppression toward the global south and minorities.Gotta credit China's tenacity,still leading when the whole OLYMPIC is rigged in favor of US and the Anglo Saxons,from legalizing doping, selective medal allocation, to installing biased judges .The well-orchestrated Sun Yang ban also probably freed a couple of golds.
