Egypt’s Rowing Chief Credits Selective Participation Policy for African Championship Success

Egypt’s rowing federation president, Major General Sherif El-Qamati, has credited a policy of selective participation for the national team’s achievement at the African Championship.

El-Qamati, who heads both the Egyptian and Arab rowing federations, linked the continental result to an approach that prioritises the quality of participation.

His remarks placed the federation’s competition policy at the centre of his assessment of Egypt’s performance, rather than focusing on individual race results.

El-Qamati also serves as treasurer of the Egyptian Olympic Committee. The available statement did not specify Egypt’s medal tally or identify the events in which the team achieved its success.
