Personal life
[edit]Mariam Selim was born on October 24, 2002, in Alexandria. She began rhythmic gymnastics at age three because her sister was also a rhythmic gymnast.[2] She can speak Arabic, English, and French.[2]

[edit]Selim competed as a junior in the 2016 African Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Walvis Bay, where she won five gold medals.[3]
She competed as a senior at the 2018 African Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Cairo, and she won gold medals in the team, hoop, ball, and ribbon, and a silver medal in the individual all-around.[4][2] At the 2018 World Championships, Selim finished 61st in the all-around in the qualification round and the Egyptian team finished 25th.[2] She competed at the 2019 FIG World Challenge Cup in Minsk where she finished 50th in the individual all-around.[2] At the 2019 World Championships, she finished 69th in the all-around and the Egyptian team finished 28th.[2]
At the 2020 African Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships in Sharm el-Sheikh, she won a gold medal in the team event and silver medals in the individual all-around, ribbon, hoop, and clubs.[5] However, she was subsequently stripped of the medals she won at the event due to failing a doping test due to the presence of sibutramine.
