📢 Jana Ehab: I Was Shocked Despite Winning the Qualifiers
The Egyptian karate player explained that the crisis began after she participated in the qualification trials for the World Championship, where she managed to finish first in her weight category, believing that she had secured her place in the global competition.
However, she later discovered that another player had been selected to participate instead of her, despite the fact that Jana achieved the better result in the qualifying process.
