Spectator and Spectrum are here throughout the next two weeks to bring you updates and interviews from Columbia Olympians in our #LondonLions series. Today, we profile one of our #LondonLions, Sherif Farrag. Follow @CU_Spectator and @CUSpecSports to make sure you’re up to date.
Sherif Farrag (CC '09) has been training hard over the past year, earning himself a spot at the Olympics. But before he was fencing on the world's stage, he started off his college career in Morningside Heights living in Carman Hall and studying in Butler.
The two-time Columbia co-captain will represent Egypt in men's team foil on Sunday, August 5, when Egypt duels Great Britain, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinals. He was kind enough to take some time off from preparing for competition to answer a few questions for us via email.
1. What Olympic athlete are you gonna ask to call you maybe?
