Egyptian champion Iyad Tantawy, a member of the Egyptian weightlifting team, achieved a remarkable sporting milestone during the African Youth and Junior Weightlifting Championship held in Algeria.
The athlete displayed exceptional performance that reflects the significant development of Egyptian weightlifting on the continental stage.
Tantawy competed in the under-20 category for the 70 kg weight class and, thanks to his determination and focus, secured three well-deserved silver medals. He earned a silver in the snatch, a silver in the clean and jerk, as well as a silver in the overall total of the championship, along with another silver in the Arab Championship.
This achievement is the result of the continuous efforts made by the coaching staff and the athletes, supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, to represent Egypt's national team in the best possible way and to produce new generations of champions capable of reaching the international podiums.
