She is a multiple-time Pan Arab Games champion, and a two-time gold medalist for her respective categories (800 m freestyle and 400 m individual medley) at the 2006 African Swimming Championships in Dakar, Senegal.[2][3] Mathlouthi had won a total of four medals, including three silver for the women's freestyle (200, 400, and 1500 m) at the 2007 All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.[4][5]
Mathlouthi was slated to compete in a medley double at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but withdrew from the competition for personal and health reasons.[6][7]
