Jamil El Reedy

'''Jamil Omar Hatem Abdulalem Jamil El Reedy in Cairo) is a retired Egyptian alpine skier. El Reedy grew up in Plattsburgh, New York, USA. He was the first sportsperson to represent Egypt at the Winter Olympics.

1984 Winter Olympics He was Egypt's sole representative at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. As such, he attracted lasting media attention, particularly when it was reported that he had "prepared by spending 40 days in a cave in the Egyptian desert". He finished 46th out of 101 in the slalom, 60th out of 61 in the downhill event, and did not finish the giant slalom, thus being eliminated. El Reedy did not participate in the subsequent 1988 Winter Olympics.

Due to him representing a non-alpine country and being seemingly unqualified for the Olympics, El Reedy has been described as a tourist athlete and has been compared to Eddie the Eagle.
