Sayed Nosseir
Arguably the greatest of all Egyptian lifters of the early 20th century was El Sayed Mohammed Nosseir (1905-'77). His thick, muscular physique allowed him to win the gold in the light heavyweight class and his country's first gold medal at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games. According to Canadian bodybuilding official Ben Weider, Nosseir was second in popularity among Egyptians only to King Farouk—and many would have put him first.
