Hello, everyone! I’m Seifeldeen Ismail, a dedicated pro triathlete with a passion for pushing my limits and representing Egypt on the world stage. My journey in sports began at a young age, as I took up swimming at the tender age of 5. However, I soon discovered that my thirst for challenges could not be quenched with just one sport.
In 2011, I joined the Egyptian Modern Pentathlon team and embraced the diverse set of skills required. This journey continued until 2018 when I stumbled upon Triathlon, a sport that had garnered international fame and admiration. My love for cycling as a leisure activity further fueled my decision to embark on this new adventure. In 2017, I made the leap and decided to focus solely on Triathlon.
With a burning desire to represent my country at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, I worked relentlessly, coming close to qualification but narrowly missing the mark. Undeterred, I believe that no dream is too big or too far if I persevere. Since then, I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into rigorous training, aiming to secure a spot in the Paris 2024 Olympics and compete for a top 10 finish in the LA 2028 Olympics.
One of the things I cherish most about Triathlon is its vibrant and inclusive community. It has brought me the joy of traveling, making friends from diverse cultures, and cherishing unforgettable experiences along the way. My journey to Paris is filled with excitement, and I am eagerly embracing the challenges it presents.
Aside from my passion for Triathlon, I am also a dedicated electrical power engineering student in Egypt, studying at one of the country’s most challenging universities. The balance between academics and sports is demanding, but I am committed to giving my best and managing both aspects of my life effectively.
Notable Accomplishments:
- Ranked #1 Triathlete in Egypt since 2019
- Proudly holding the title of Arab Champion in 2022
- Secured 2nd place in the U23 African Championship in 2022
- Represented Egypt at the 2022 U23 World Championship in Abu Dhabi
- Achieved the prestigious title of African Youth Games Champion in 2018
I am grateful for the support I’ve received from my family, friends, and fans throughout my journey. Their unwavering belief in me fuels my determination to achieve greatness in the world of Triathlon. I look forward to embracing the challenges and celebrating victories along the way as I strive to make Egypt proud on the international stage. Thank you all for being a part of my incredible journey! Together, we soar to new heights.
