Robert Kabbas

Australian Olympic Weight Lifting winner with Egyptian heritage

Thank you for giving our listeners the opportunity to find out about you, Australian Professional Weight Lifting and Olympic Winner with an Egyptian heritage.

My curiosity kicked in on the evening of the opening of the Olympic Games 2020 / 21, last Friday night 23 July 2021, to search the internet and find out if past Australian Olympic winners were born in Egypt, i then posted a paragraph onto Facebook, to encourage the next generation of Australians with Egyptian heritage to get ready and represent Australia at Brisbane Olympic Games 2032.
