Egyptian swimmer Abdelrahman Sameh has added another accolade to his growing list of achievements, securing the silver medal in the 50-metre butterfly race at the ongoing World Aquatics Cup in Budapest, Hungary.
Sameh's performance saw him finish the race in 23.13 seconds, falling just 0.02 seconds short of the first-place American swimmer who claimed the gold medal with a time of 23.11 seconds.
Sameh qualified for the finals after completing the eighth heat in 23.53 seconds, securing the fourth position overall and earning his spot in the highly-anticipated medal race.
This win follows Sameh's historic gold medal victory in the 50-metre butterfly event at the World Aquatics World Cup Championship held in Greece earlier this month. When asked about his win, Sameh - in a now viral clip - stated, “I don't think I can celebrate this honestly, [....] my brothers and sisters are being killed in Palestine, and I’m threatened with death just because it’s a cause I’m standing for."
