問題詳情:
For the first time in its history the International Olympic Committee has allowed a team of refugee to compete at the Games. All of the team’s members were forced to leave their home countries they’ve come together to compete under the Olympic flag instead.
Making it to the Olympics is something eighteen-year-old swimmer Yusra has always dreamed of . But just last year, she was swimming for her life. She and her sister were forced to leave their home in Syria because of the war there. They were trying to get to Greece in a rubber dinghy with eighteen other refugees , when their boat broke down and began filing with water. Most of the people on board couldn’t swim so she and her sister jumped in to help push it to shore.
Three hours later , they made it to safety , and eventually to Germany as refugees. Refugees are people who have left their home country because their lives are threatened by war, bad treatment or violence –often because of their race, gender or beliefs. Around the world , more than 60 million people are in this situation . And some of them , like Yuasra , are elite athletes who have trained all their lives to compete at the highest level , only to have that chance taken away.
Now, a team of ten , including swimmers, runners , and judokas from Syria, South Sudan ,Ethipia and Congo have been given the chance to compete at the Games under the Olympic flag. They’ve also been given their own coaches ,officials ,uniforms and a chef , all paid for by the IOC. And in the past few months they ‘ve been training hard. The IOC says it wants the team to inspire and give hope to other refugees, and draw attention to the issues millions of others around the world are facing . And these guys say they’ve up to the task , whether they win gold or not.
“These refugee athletes will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies that they have faced , anyone can contribute to society through their talent ,skills and strength of the human spirit,” the statement continues.
