Jermin Anwar (Arabic: جيرمين انور; born September 30, 1986 in Cairo) is an Egyptian taekwondo practitioner, who competed in the women's flyweight category at the 2004 Summer Olympics.[1]
Anwar qualified as a seventeen-year-old teen for the Egyptian squad in the women's flyweight class (49 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by defeating Lesotho's Lineo Mochesane for the top spot and securing a berth from the African Olympic Qualifying Tournament in her native Cairo.[2] With a limited international experience, Anwar crashed out early in a narrow 2–3 defeat to fellow Canadian teenager Ivett Gonda during her opening match. When Gonda was relentlessly defeated by Chinese Taipei's Chen Shih-hsin in the semifinals, Anwar denied her chance to proceed into the repechage for the Olympic bronze medal.[3][4]
