Abdelrahman Ehab Mohamed El-Sefy (born 12 August 1998) is an Egyptian sport wrestler who has competed in amateur sumo wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling. As a sport wrestler, he competes in the 87 kg division of Greco-Roman wrestling. As an amateur sumo wrestler, he is a gold medalist at the World Games and a two-time bronze medalist at the Sumo World Championships.
In sumo wrestling, El-Safy first participated in the 2017 in the men's lightweight division, where he lost in the semifinals and repechages semifinals. He also competed in the World Sumo Championships, winning a bronze medal in 2018 and 2019.[1]
El-Safy returned to the World Games in 2022, again in the men's lightweight division. In the latter, he won the gold medal.[2] Conversely, the Egyptian sumo team, in which El-Sefy belonged to, was banned from competing in the remaining sumo events after "poor sportsmanship".[3] The poor organization and sportsmanship displayed during that competition led to sumo being dropped from the program ahead of the 2025 World Games.[4] [5] [6]
