Salama Abdel Raouf Zenhoum Ismail (Arabic: سلامة عبد الرؤوف زينهم اسماعيل; born September 30, 1986) is an Egyptian former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She currently holds three Egyptian records each in the 50, 100, and 200 m breaststroke, and plays simultaneously for Zohour Sporting Club in Cairo, and Dekalb International Training Centre (DITC) in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] She also won a total of four medals (three silver and one bronze) at the 2003 All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria.[3][4]
Ismail qualified for the women's 100 m breaststroke, as Egypt's only female swimmer, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She cleared a FINA B-standard entry time of 1:11.83 from the All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria.[3][5] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including 15-year-olds Annabelle Carey of New Zealand and Lee Ji-Young of South Korea. She raced to third place by 0.26 of a second ahead of Argentina's Javiera Salcedo, outside her entry time of 1:12.20. Ismail failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-eighth overall in the preliminaries.[6][7]
