When a refugee athlete steps up to the starting line, there’s a story behind them. One that represents the resilience of refugees and the power sport has to rebuild lives.

وطن به مرز و جغرافیا نیست؛ وطن همانی‌ست که وجود تو و من و ما از آن پر است، همین سختی نگاه تو، همین دردی که هرچه از درون ما را می‌خورد، پرتر از آن می‌شویم.
ما «بی‌وطن» نیستیم؛ بی‌وطن کسی‌ست که در جانب ظلم علیه هم‌وطن ایستاده است.

Since 1896, countries of the world have sent teams to compete in the Olympic games...but refugees were not included.
The #RefugeeOlympicTeam changed that.
That moment when IOC #RefugeeOlympicTeam athlete, Kimia Alizadeh, knocked out double Olympic Champion, Jade Jones! 💪
