Mohamed Mamdouh (swimmer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohamed Mamdouh Abdelhamid El-Nady (Arabic: محمد النادى; born March 14, 1985) is an Egyptian swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] He was selected to the Egyptian swimming team at the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing among the top 60 swimmers in the men's 50 m freestyle.

El-Nady competed for Egypt in the men's 50 m freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He finished with the fastest time and FINA B-standard in 22.36 at the Pan Arab Games one year earlier in Cairo, falling short of the Olympic qualifying cut by just a hundredth of a second (0.01).[2] Swimming on the outside against the vastly experienced field in heat twelve, El Nady could not match his similar pre-Olympic effort with a clearly disappointing 23.92 to round out the field. El-Nady failed to advance to the semifinals, as he placed fifty-fourth out of 97 swimmers in the prelims.[3]
