Abdelrahman El-Sayed

Abdelrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (Arabic: عبد الرحمن السيد; born May 19, 1989) is an Egyptian weightlifter.[1] El-Sayed represented Egypt at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's heavyweight category (105 kg). El-Sayed placed fourteenth in this event, as he successfully lifted 175 kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisted 210 kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 385 kg.[2] El-Sayed was later elevated to a higher position, when Ukraine's Ihor Razoronov had been disqualified from the Olympics, after he tested positive for nandrolone.[3]
