Biography
Ahmed Mohamed (Arabic: أحمد الكردى; born April 8, 1996 in Cairo) is an Egyptian sport shooter. He won a gold medal in air pistol shooting at the 2015 African Championships and shared a runner-up prize with Singapore's Teh Xiu Yi in the mixed international pistol team at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.
Mohamed made his first Olympic team for Egypt as an eighteen-year-old at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, where he earned a silver medal in shooting. In his first event, the boys' 10 m air pistol, Mohamed fired a score of 551 points to place fourteenth from a field of twenty, but missed out a chance to compete for the final. Three days later, Mohamed and his Singaporean colleague Teh Xiu Yi rebounded from their early air pistol eliminations to take home the silver medal in the mixed pistol team competition, losing the final match 5–10 to the Eurasian duo of Lidia Nencheva (Bulgaria) and Vladimir Svechnikov.
