Prof. Dr. Emad Samir, Dean of the Faculty,

—speaking on his own behalf and on behalf of the faculty members, teaching assistants, staff, and students—

extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to one of the Faculty’s own, the champion Nour El-Din Mohamed Zaki. A third-year student in the Department of Curricula and Physical Education Instruction and a member of the Egyptian national weightlifting team, he was crowned with the gold medal in the 65kg snatch event at the 2026 Mediterranean Games. He successfully lifted 133kg, securing Egypt’s first gold medal in weightlifting at the games 🥇, having also previously won the silver medal in the 65kg clean and jerk event.

This distinguished athletic achievement is a source of pride and honor for the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Assiut University. It underscores the wealth of athletic talent within the Faculty—athletes capable of competing, achieving success, and raising the profile of both Egypt and Assiut University high on the international stage.

#Heartfelt_Congratulations to champion Nour El-Din Zaki, with best wishes for continued championship victories and achievements, and for seeing the Egyptian flag raised high on the podiums.
