Nahla Ramadan Mohamed (Arabic: نهلة رمضان; born 4 April 1985 in Alexandria, Egypt) is an Egyptian weightlifter and the pioneer of weightlifting in Egypt, Africa and the Arab world.[1] She competed for Egypt at the 2004 Summer Olympics and 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] At the 2004 Summer Olympics, competing in the heavyweight division, she did not finish the competition, being unable to register a lift in the clean and jerk.[1] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she competed in the super-heavyweight category and finished fifth.[1]
[3] However, four years later in 2016 samples taken at London 2012 from the Armenian bronze medalist Hripsime Khurshudyan were tested positive for prohibited substances. Therefore, Egypt's Nahla Ramadan, who initially placed fifth, came fourth place.[3]
