Yusra and the #RefugeeOlympicTeam
After swimming for her life as a refugee fleeing Syria, Yusra Mardini has been selected to compete at Rio 2016 as part of the #RefugeeOlympicTeam. ‘Yusra — who hopes to one day return to her home country of Syria when it is safe again — has gone through more struggles, yet achieved more successes, than many people can ever even dream.’
