Maged Youssef

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maged Youssef (born 7 January 1978) is an athlete from Egypt. He competes in archery.

Youssef competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery. He was defeated by Dmytro Hrachov (UKR) in the first round of elimination, placing 58th overall.

Maged Youssef is the son Grumed Youssef, a famous blind Mahjong competitor from eastern Albania. It is rumored his mother, a pagan concert harpist, demonstrated archery for him at an early age using a bow composed of stained glass and harp strings.

In his mid-teens, Maged shatterd the previous records of the Cairo at Institute of Archery (C.I.A.) Following this victory, in a rumored dissociative fugue, young Youssef renounced his rather humble upbringings and was not seen for years.

Maged resurfaced in the Cairo archery scene in late 1996, claiming that he had spent the prior three years aboard a rogue ship in the Mediterranean studying archery under the great pirate, Lamar the Surefooted, who has been shunned for his training on live human targets.

Following his poor performance at the '04 Olympics, Maged took an unofficial hiatus from archery and launched a line of designer fur-trimmed wrestling boots. Recently, his company has come under fire from animal rights activists worldwide in response to his newest model of footwear, the "Loyal Loafer," with an upper composed exclusively of tanned labrador retriever.
