Anwar qualified as a seventeen-year-old teen for the Egyptian squad in the women's flyweight class (49 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by defeating Lesotho's Lineo Mochesane for the top spot and securing a berth from the African Olympic Qualifying Tournament in her native Cairo.{{cite web|title=Athens 2004: Taekwondo – Women's Entry List by NOC|url=http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2004/Results/Taekwondo.pdf|format=PDF|pages=5–7|work=Athens 2004|publisher=LA84 Foundation|access-date=28 December 2014}} With a limited international experience, Anwar had an early 2–3 defeat to fellow Canadian teenager Ivett Gonda during her opening match. When Gonda was defeated by Chinese Taipei's Chen Shih-hsin in the semifinals, Anwar was denied her chance to proceed into the repechage for the Olympic bronze medal.{{cite web|title=Taekwondo – Women's Flyweight (49kg/108lbs) Round of 16|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics_2004/martial_arts/results/3534242.stm|work=Athens 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|date=12 August 2004|access-date=24 September 2013}}{{cite news|title=Canada's Gonda loses taekwondo semi, ends chance for bronze |url=http://www.caaws-womenatthegames.ca/olympics/2004/olympic_sports/taekwondo/gonda_aug26_final.cfm |work=CBC Sports |publisher=CAAWS |date=26 August 2004 |access-date=16 January 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150116121927/http://www.caaws-womenatthegames.ca/olympics/2004/olympic_sports/taekwondo/gonda_aug26_final.cfm |archive-date=16 January 2015 }}
