Shaimaa Abdul-Aziz Muhammad (Arabic: شيماء عبد العزيز; born 30 March 1981 in Giza) is an Egyptian table tennis player.[3] She won a silver medal, along with her partner Moselhi Emad, in the mixed doubles at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.[4] As of March 2013, Abdul-Aziz is ranked no. 566 in the world by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).[2] She is also right-handed, and uses the classic grip.[1]
Abdul-Aziz made her official debut, as a 19-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she competed in both singles and doubles tournaments. For her first event, the women's singles, Abdul-Aziz placed third in the preliminary pool round against Russia's Galina Melnik and Hong Kong's Wong Ching, receiving a total score of 74 points, and two straight losses.[5] In the women's doubles, Abdul-Aziz and her partner Osman Bacent repeated their position in the preliminary pool round against Sweden's Åsa and Marie Svensson, and Belarus' Viktoria Pavlovich and Tatyana Kostromina, attaining only a total score of 45 points and losing four straight matches.[6]
Eight years after competing in her last Olympics, Abdul-Aziz qualified for her second Egyptian team, as a 27-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by receiving a place as one of the top 6 seeded players from the All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.[7][8][9] She lost the preliminary round match of the women's singles tournament to Chinese Taipei's Pan Li-chun, with a unanimous set score of 0–4.[10]
