Ahmed Moustafa Hussein ((アラビア語:أحمد مصطفى حسين); born May 25, 1983) is an Egyptian former swimmer who specialized in backstroke events. He is a two-time Olympian, and a three-time All-American swimmer for the Arizona State Sun Devils at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, where he majored in and graduated with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. Hussein made his first Egyptian team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's 200 m backstroke. Swimming in heat two, he edged out Singapore's Gary Tan to earn a fifth spot and thirty-sixth overall by 0.22 of a second in 2:06.10. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Hussein extended his program by qualifying for two swimming events. He claimed two gold medals from the All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria, breaking an Egyptian record and meeting a FINA B-cut of 55.75 (100 m backstroke) and 2:02.45 (200 m backstroke). In the 100 m backstroke, Hussein participated in heat three against seven other swimmers, including Olympic veteran Derya Büyükuncu of Turkey. He raced to sixth place and thirty-first overall by 0.52 of a second behind Buyukuncu, outside his personal best of 56.86. In his second event, 200 m backstroke, Hussein matched his position from the 100-metre backstroke on the morning's preliminaries. Hussein saved a seventh spot on the same heat as Sydney over South Korea's Sung Min, who finished behind him in last place by 0.04 of a second, with a time of 2:04.82. At the 2005 Mediterranean Games in Almería, Spain, Hussein won a total of three medals in the same discipline, a silver in the 100 (56.06) and a bronze in the 50 m backstroke (25.86). In the 200 m backstroke, he lowered his own Egyptian record of 2:01.61 to claim another bronze. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahmed Hussein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
