According to this article, a member of the Egyptian Olympic delegation was smoking a Hookah in his hotel room which triggered the fire alarm and caused the evacuation of the whole hotel in the Olympic city. As a result, the local authorities sent a warning to the Egyptian delegation.
I am not sure which is funnier, the hookah story or the fact that Egypt gave its Olympics Athletes Chinese Knockoffs.
Speaking of Hookah, check out the first version of the Hookah Olympics soon to be introduced in the Middle East. Lebanon would definitely win a gold medal or two in those Olympics.

This whole “I’m Arab, therefore shisha” is becoming ridiculous.
No, I think the funny part is that a player participating in a sports game is smoking…. that’s what I think is sarcastic.
+1 on this. Most probably they’re going to London as tourist not as competitors
