MODERN PENTATHLON COUPLE
He met his wife Isabella through the sport. He says if a modern pentathlon mixed relay event is added to the Olympic programme for the 2024 Games in Paris, he will delay his retirement to try and compete at the Games with Isabella. "It is the happiest thought in my life to be able to do the sport that I love with the person I love. If they have the mixed relay in 2024 then it is guaranteed, I will be carrying on. The chance to compete together as partners, as husband and wife, at any Olympics? I don't think anything could be greater than that." (usatoday.com, 30 Mar 2018)

FROM EGYPT TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
After competing for Egypt in international competitions since 2002, his last appearance for his birth nation came at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. After the Games he had a two-year international break before starting to compete for the United States of America in 2018. (SportsDeskOnline, 16 Aug 2019; olympics.nbcsports.com, 12 Aug 2019)
