Coming to the final with a third seed at 380 points, El-Hodhod commanded an early lead after thirteen shots, but then spoiled her previous good results with a 7.7 that saw her fall to fifth at 137.4.
[3][4] When Cairo hosted the 2015 African Championships on her senior debut, El-Hodhod broke an African record of 381 out of a possible 400 approaching to the final, and then beat Tunisia's 2012 Olympian Noura Nasri in a duel to defend her air pistol title with a score of 198.2; the first being previously done as a junior in 2014.
