Meet weightlifter Sara Ahmed who just won Egypt’s first medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
This woman started weightlifting to release her anger instead of beating her husband
No better way to channel that anger
Ahmed told newsmen she had blazed a trail for women athletes after becoming the first female from her country to stand on the Olympic podium.
But some people said she started weightlifting because of her husband:
However the story is false, Ahmed is not married, she is 18-years-old and started weightlifting 7 years ago.

It is worth noting that Ahmed won the 2015 World Youth Weightlifting Championships in Lima, also in the 69kg category, before finishing in fourth place at the 2015 World Weightlifting Championships.
