tamer abdelmoneim hussein -lrb- ; born november 22 , 1974 in cairo -rrb- is an egyptian taekwondo practitioner , who competed in the men 's featherweight category .
he captured two medals each in the men 's 70-kg division at the world taekwondo championships -lrb- 1991 and 1997 -rrb- , and attained a fifth-place finish at the 2004 summer olympics , representing his nation egypt .
hussein qualified as a 29-year-old for the egyptian squad in the men 's featherweight class -lrb- 68 kg -rrb- at the 2004 summer olympics in athens , by defeating tunisia 's mohamed omrani for the top spot and securing a berth from the african olympic qualifying tournament in his native cairo .
hussein lost his opening match 8 -- 1 to chinese taipei 's huang chih-hsiung , but slipped abruptly into the repechage for a chance to add another olympic bronze medal for egypt in the sport , following huang 's progress towards the final .
in the repechage , hussein redeemed from his ill-fated olympic prelim feat to seal an adamant 8 -- 4 victory over austria 's two-time olympian tuncay Çalışkan , before ending his olympic run by plunging to a 6 -- 8 decision against south korea 's song myeong-seob , relegating hussein to fifth position .
