 * The last couple of sentences are not sufficiently encyclopedic,, but the rest could be added if you provide reliable sources to support the text. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:07, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks @cordless Larry. I understand about the part about it not being encyclopedic. The rest that you can add was always there on that page- no idea why someone removed it. Everything on there is true information. It's been on the wiki page for 6 years. Can you please add it back? Thanks Kanzydaf (talk) 03:02, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It was removed because it was unsourced. Please see Verifiability and Biographies of living persons on the need for sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:33, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

How can I prove it? This was on the Wikipedia page in the past years - why remove it now? Everything on it that's removed was true. I am begging you to put it back, thanks Kanzydaf (talk) 05:06, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia's articles should only summarise what existing sources have already said about a subject, . Please read Verifiability to understand this. It is policy to remove unsourced material from articles, regardless of how long it has been there, and to not reinstate it until sources have been found that support it. Unless you can point to sources that support the material, then it doesn't belong in the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 05:11, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

I have again had to revert the addition of this material about the subject "looking to expand her sponsorships in the next couple years". To repeat, this does not belong in an encyclopedia article. Nor does material such as "An individual title was the only absence in an otherwise sterling collegiate resume" and "France’s Camille Serme had her hands full with 20-year-old Kanzy El-Defrawy, the acrobatic 20-year-old Egyptian who gives the term playing with abandon new meaning. Fearlessly diving to the floor to return her opponent's shots, the Trinity junior – ranked just 66 in the world – delighted the crowd with here energetic, never-say-die, play". I will try when I get time to make use of some of the sources from that edit to add neutral material to the article, but further promotionalism will be reverted.

College career
ElDefrawy was recruited at the age of 18 to attend the prestigious Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. As a freshman, she led the team as the No. 1 to a triumphant season, easily taking the NESCAC championship. Trinity clenched second place in the CSA's National Women's Squash Competition, a championship they had not had the opportunity to attain in eight years. In the CSA Individual Competition, ElDefrawy put up a valiant fight against USA's No. 1 ranked player, Amanda Sohby, but was ultimately defeated.

In 2013, as a Freshman, ElDefrawy was named both NESCAC player of the year and ROOKIE of the year. She was also appointed to the all NESCAC first team. Trinity's women's squash coach Wendy Bartlett was also named NESCAC coach of the year that season, her first time receiving this title in the 29 seasons she has coached at Trinity.

After her success at the CSA individual tournament, ElDefrawy is ranked No. 2 in the United States. She is also currently ranked as the No. 6 women's player in Egypt.

In 2015, ElDefrawy was nominated as MVP within the Trinity women's squash team, along with the Working boast award that represents tremendous effort and care, showing the love of the game outside and inside of the court. She was nominated Captain and will be the leader of the team throughout the 2015-16 season.

In her last college squash tournament, ElDefrawy was ranked Number 1 in the United States and helped lead Trinity College's women's team to second after Harvard University.

Youtube and News Fame
In January 2015, ElDefrawy has participated in the TOC (Tournament of Champions) Professional Tournament held in Grand Central Station in NYC. There, ElDefrawy astonished the crowd with her dive series where she dove four times in a row to save four balls in the same point. ElDefrawy was mentioned in SkyNews, BBC News, The Business Insider, as well as 27 other news channels. The video has a total of 4 Million views and was the trending topic on applications such as Twitter. The match was against number six in the world Camille Serme from France who defeated ElDefrawy in a very close four setter in a 59minutes battle.

In January 2015, with a world ranking of 66, Kanzy was granted a qualifying spot in the famous JP Morgan Tournament of Champions in Grand Central Station, NYC. In order to qualify for the Main Draw, Defrawy beat out three higher ranked opponents in three days: Donna Urquhart, #36 in the world, Nicollete Fernandes, #21 in the world, and Heba El Torky, #26 in the world. She beat all three opponents in 4 games. In her main draw appearance, Defrawy played world #6, Camille Serme of France. After taking the first game 11-9, Defrawy lost the next three games in an ultimate defeat of 3-1. However, her 4-shot-4-dive rally from that match has become world renowned, gaining nearly 20,000 views on Youtube in 48 hours, featured on BBC Sport, and shown on new stations around the world.

El Defrawy won her first Women's Squash Association Tour title at the NASH Cup in London, Ontario, Canada, in September 2014. In 2015, she won the Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital Open and in 2016, won the Richmond Open, the Jordan Squash Federation Amman Open, the Play Squash Women's Open and the LiveStuff Open. During 2017, she has won the Delaware Women's Open and the Bahl and Gaynor Cincinnati Gaynor Cup.
