The home lifter impressed in the snatch event as part of the women’s under 62 kilogram competition at the Cairo Stadium.

The podium was completed by Tunisia’s Ihsan Shabi.

The 29-year-old Egyptian, crowned world champion back in 2017, lifted 160kg in the snatch event.

He followed the effort with a lift of 191kg in the clean and jerk, giving him a winning total of 351kg.

Tunisia's Ramzi Bahloul was second on 331kg, while Egypt’s Ahmed Sayed placed third on 281kg.
