[edit] Archery

Egypt will send archers to the Olympics for the third time, seeking the nation's first Olympic medal in the sport. Amr Ghanem earned the country a qualifying spot in the men's competition by placing second in the 2008 African championship.[1] Amira Mansour did the same in the women's competition.[2] Egypt has not confirmed its Olympic entrants.

[edit] Boxing

Egypt qualified three boxers for the Olympic boxing tournament. Yasser was the first to qualify, at the World Championships.[3] The other two Egyptian boxers qualified at the first African qualifying tournament.[4]
