Rahma Khaled, a 22-year-old swimmer and Paralympic gold medalist with Down’s Syndrome expressed happiness over signing a contract with DMC channel to host a program dubbed “8 AM” starting Tuesday. She added that DMC officials had put her under test cameras since January, expressing admiration for her performance and her desire to learn. Film producer Hisham Suleiman, head of the DMC, announced one week ago that Khaled would broadcast the 8 AM program on the channel. Khaled added that she dreams of directing a film about people with Down’s Syndrome, and hopes it could even compete in international festivals. In 2010 and 2011, she won first place in the Paralympics Swimming Championships and won the 2010’s Egyptian Swimming Championship.
