Soumah qualified as a lone female athlete and judoka for the Guinean squad in the women's half-lightweight class (52 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by granting a tripartite invitation from the International Judo Federation. She lost her opening match to Portugal's Telma Monteiro, who scored an ippon victory and quickly subdued her on the tatami with a seoi nage (shoulder throw) at eighteen seconds.[2][3][4]
