About Tamer Hussein

  • Tamer Abdelmoneim Hussein (Arabic: ???? ??? ?????? ?????; born 22 November 1974 in Cairo) is an Egyptian taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the men's featherweight category.
  • He captured two medals each in the men's 70-kg division at the World Taekwondo Championships (1991 and 1997), and attained a fifth-place finish at the 2004 Summer Olympics, representing his nation Egypt. Hussein qualified as a 29-year-old for the Egyptian squad in the men's featherweight class (68 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by defeating Tunisia's Mohamed Omrani for the top spot and securing a berth from the African Olympic Qualifying Tournament in his native Cairo.
  • Hussein lost his opening match 8–1 to Chinese Taipei's Huang Chih-hsiung, but slipped abruptly into the repechage for a chance to add another Olympic bronze medal for Egypt in the sport, following Huang's progress towards the final.
  • In the repechage, Hussein redeemed from his ill-fated Olympic prelim feat to seal an adamant 8–4 victory over Austria's two-time Olympian Tuncay Çaliskan, before ending his Olympic run by plunging to a 6–8 decision against South Korea's Song Myeong-seob, relegating Hussein to fifth position.
