Egyptian alpine skier From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamil Omar Hatem Abdulalem Jamil El Reedy[1] (Egyptian Arabic: جميل الريدى; born October 2, 1965[2] in Cairo)[3] is a retired Egyptian alpine skier. El Reedy grew up in Plattsburgh, New York, USA.
He was Egypt's sole representative at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. As such, he attracted lasting media attention, particularly when it was reported that he had "prepared by spending 40 days in a cave in the Egyptian desert".[4] He finished 46th out of 101 in the slalom, 60th out of 61 in the downhill event, and did not complete the giant slalom, thus being eliminated. El Reedy did not participate the next games in Calgary.[5]
