The stories of refugees – having to flee their home country for safety – and for some – losing a parent and starting afresh in a host nation is a mighty challenge. These members of the Refugee Olympic Team have overcome such challenges, taken up sport, training and competition to rise to world stage. It’s a Dream to Compete in the Olympic Games.
