I had not been training. It was the first time for me to run and I came number two, I was very suprised!

My hope is just to try my best, to improve on my time.

Sport has that power to change a life. Especially for refugees.

I didn’t know that talent could take me anywhere, I just loved sport.

I feel very excited. This is the first chance for the refugees to participate in the Olympics and to give us hope, for us to encourage the young generations of fellow refugees who are remaining in the camps maybe to continue their talent.
