El-Shazly reprimands Diving Federation
Samah El-Shazli, head of the Diving and Rescue Federation, criticized the Olympic Committee's statement that downplayed the achievement of the fin swimming team, which won 12 medals. He considered that dividing achievements into Olympic and non-Olympic categories harms Egypt's efforts across all sports. He explained that this classification causes frustration among the athletes and contradicts the usual way results are scored and added to the country's overall tally. He noted that the Ministry of Youth and Sports has requested a report on the incident, and that the president of the Olympic Committee is punishing the federation and diminishing its accomplishments due to its stance in a court case involving martyr Youssef Abdel Malik and the federation's involvement in organizing a swimming championship supported by the former Minister of Sports. He viewed this as an unwarranted escalation against the achievements of the finswimming team.
