Omnia Fakhry

Omnia Abdel Khalek Fakhry (Arabic: أمنية فخرى عبد الخالق‎; born February 2, 1982 in Cairo) is an Egyptian modern pentathlete.[1] Fakhry qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in the women's modern pentathlon, along with her teammate Aya Medany. During the competition, Fakhry made a strong performance in the early rounds, when she finished fifth in pistol shooting, and eighteenth in a one-touch épée fencing. She placed second in the third heat in the 200 m freestyle swimming, but displayed a poor performance in the show jumping, when her horse Naonao repeatedly stopped short, veered left before the obstacles, and nearly tossed her over the barrier.[2][3] In the end, Fakhry finished the event with cross-country running in thirtieth place, for a total score of 4,996 points.[4]
