Athletics star is born

By: Inas Mazhar

November 01, 2020

Egypt’s track and field star Bassant Hemida has won the sprint double, the 100- and 200-meters, at the Athletics Kladno meet in the Czech Republic. Hemida won the 100m in 11.23 seconds, an improvement of eight hundredths of a second over her previous national record, and the second best African performance in 2020 behind Zambia’s Rhodah Njobvu (11.21 seconds in Lusaka in March). She also dominated the 200m in 22.91 seconds, the first sub-23 by an African athlete this season. Hemida had run 22.83 on 29 August in Morocco. The 24-year-old holds Egypt’s national records in the 100m and 200m and also won the 200m silver and the 100m bronze medal at the 2019 African Games in Rabat, Morocco. 

The Egyptian champion later added a silver medal at the 200m race at the World Gold Challenge Tour which was held in Nairobi. She clocked 23.12 seconds
