Egypt's wrestler issues first statement on escape
The incident of Egyptian wrestler Mohamed El-Shamy fleeing during his return journey from the Mediterranean Games in Italy received widespread attention. El-Shamy explained his decision by citing difficult living conditions and reduced financial support. This was one of two escape cases that occurred within a short span of 48 hours, during a period of close consecutive events involving the Egyptian wrestling team. El-Shamy confirmed that despite his significant athletic achievements, he had to leave in order to take responsibility and due to fears that support for him might be cut off. He expressed his determination to return and achieve his dream of raising Egypt’s flag once again. His case has been referred to the prosecutor's office, and the head of the wrestling delegation has been suspended. Despite these incidents, the tournament results show that Egypt won 7 medals during the event, even though some wrestlers escaped and others were absent.
