Mekhimar made her first Olympic team for Egypt as a 16-year-old at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, where she earned a gold medal in shooting. In her first event, the girls' 10 m air rifle, Mekhimar fired a decent score of 399.6 to attain an eighteenth place from a field of twenty, missing out a chance to compete for the final. Two days later, Mekhimar had atoned from her premature air rifle elimination to help Hungarian colleague István Péni strike a 10–2 victory over the Latin American duo of Fernanda Russo (Argentina) and José Santos Valdés (Mexico) in the gold medal match of the mixed rifle team competition.[2][3]
