2019 World Swimming Championships: Egypt's Samy reachs 50m backstroke semis, Osman skips 50m freestyle
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 27 - 07 - 2019

Egyptian swimmer Mohamed Samy reached the semi final of the 50m backstroke event of the World Championship in Gwangju on Saturday.
Samy booked a place in the semis after finishing seventh in the heats with a time of 24,95 seconds.
Also on Saturday, Egypt's Farida Osman didn't start the 50m freestyle event. She probably wants to be ready for the 50m butterfly final to be played later on the same day.
Osman qualified for the final on Friday after finishing fifth in the semis with a time of 25.79 seconds.
She is bidding for another glory after she gave Egypt its first-ever medal at the swimming World Championships, winning bronze in Budapest two years ago in the same 50m butterfly event.
Samy's fellow Egyptian Ahmed Akram starts his campaign in the 1500m freestyle also on Saturday.
