Fatma Hanafy Continues to Impress
Young Egyptian shooter Fatma Hanafy continued to make her mark on the international stage after achieving a perfect 12-for-12 score during the championship.

Ezz El-Din Kassem Continues His Challenge
In another competition, Ezz El-Din Kassem successfully remained strong throughout the qualification rounds and advanced to sixth place, keeping himself among the leading competitors.
His progress represents another positive result for the Egyptian delegation, especially because reaching the top positions at a major world championship requires exceptional concentration and consistency across the qualification stages.
Kassem will now hope to maintain his strong form and climb even higher in the upcoming stages.
Record Egyptian Participation
The current edition of the Helice Shooting World Championship features a record Egyptian presence, with the delegation including 43 male and female shooters.
It is Egypt’s largest participation in the history of the Helice Shooting World Championship, reflecting the growing attention being given to the sport and efforts to expand the country’s participation and exposure to elite international competition.
The large delegation also gives more Egyptian shooters the opportunity to gain experience and compete against athletes from around the world.
Hazem Hosny Praises Egyptian Performance
Hazem Hosny, president of the Egyptian and African Shooting Federations, praised the level delivered by Egypt’s athletes during the day’s competitions.
Hosny stressed that five Egyptian shooters achieving perfect 12-for-12 scores, along with Ezz El-Din Kassem reaching sixth place, demonstrates the strong and respectable level shown by Egyptian shooting at the championship.

Special Praise for Fatma Hanafy
Hazem Hosny gave particular praise to young Egyptian shooter Fatma Hanafy, stressing that her performance and perfect score represent an important addition to Egyptian shooting.
The president of the Egyptian and African federations believes the presence of young athletes at this level provides the sport with a promising future, particularly as they gain valuable experience by competing in major international championships.

Federation President Sends a Message
Hazem Hosny expressed confidence in Egypt’s athletes and wished them continued success and strong performances during the upcoming stages.
The president of the Egyptian and African Shooting Federations said: “I commend our athletes’ performance today, and I am confident in their ability to continue competing and give their best. I wish all Egyptian shooting champions success in the upcoming competitions.”
The message is particularly important for the Egyptian delegation because the championship is not over yet and the shooters still have opportunities to produce more impressive results.
Egyptian Shooting Target More Achievements
The results recorded by Egypt in the President Cup provide a positive start to the championship, particularly with five athletes achieving perfect scores and Ezz El-Din Kassem reaching sixth place.
With the competition continuing, the Egyptian delegation will be looking to maintain its concentration and increase its number of strong results, particularly as the championship features a large field of world-class shooters.
These performances can also give the athletes greater confidence ahead of the most important stages of the competition.
A Major Global Championship
The Helice Shooting World Championship brings together elite shooters from countries around the world, making strong results particularly difficult to achieve.
The competition requires exceptional concentration, accuracy and consistency, especially because the margins separating the leading competitors can be extremely small.
For that reason, five Egyptians achieving perfect scores represents a strong indication of the readiness and competitive level of Egyptian shooting.
Ambitions Continue Until September 6
The Helice Shooting World Championship continues in Braga, Portugal, until September 6, with Egypt hoping to produce further strong results.
The delegation will look to build on its impressive start and remain competitive until the end of the championship while giving young athletes valuable international experience that can contribute to their development in the coming years.
