For the first time, refugees around the world are hoping to compete as Olympic Athletes. All eyes are on rio as the worlds most elite athletes hope to make their countries proud. And for the first time, the International Olympic committee have announced that there will be a new team created for Refugee Athletes. We will welcome these Refugee Athletes to the olympic games, with the olympic flag and with the olympic anthem. We are all touched and moved by the magnitude of the current worldwide refugee crisis. 43 refugees have been identified as hopefuls. Only ten will be selected. I will be following the journeys of some of those athletes in germany, kenya and here in brazil. This is notjust about winning medals, but a chance to reclaim their identity and save theirfamilies. We want to show the world that through sport peace can be achieved. Last year, germany received almost half a million asylum applications. But Officials Say at least a Million People have arrived, seeking refuge across the country, including here in berlin. Many of them from syria, forced to leave because of the civil war. Yusra mardini and her sister ended up in a refugee camp on the western outskirts of berlin last september. She inspired me from the first time. She told me about her dream of a gold medal at the olympics and i said, whoa, whoa, whoa look at your best times, you did not practise for two years. She said, i can do it and the year will give me time to practise. We started really slow in the first weeks. Now we are on a normal level. She has each week round about 30 hours of training and intensive weeks, more. What is the goal for rio . For rio, it is a goalto be there, to take part and to swim her personal best. That is a realistic goal. Whilst yusras father is not her official coach, he still comes to the pool every day. Tell me how difficult it was to train in the war. After much persuasion from his daughters, he eventually agreed to the girls leaving syria. Yusra was just 17 years old at the time. In kenya, Tegla Loroupe is putting her runners through their paces. Most of them are refugees. She held time trials in the countrys two largest Refugee Camps and selected the fastest to develop them into elite athletes. It is early morning. Rebecca and the other athletes are preparing the Training Camp for an important visit by the ioc. She is one of 30 People Living here. Most of them have left their families in the Refugee Camps, and have since had little contact with them. My goal is to make sure i succeed in life, i succeed in life, so i moved my family to somewhere they can feel safe, somewhere my siblings can go to good school and also this running thing. I will work harder for it, maybe it can take me somewhere. To have a Refugee Status is not easy. Youre a nobody. As an athlete i realise there is so much i can do for people instead ofjust enjoying it helps that the new president of the ioc, thomas bach, who is a friend of mine, he loves this idea to set up this camp. She told me this is when she went to the Refugee Camps, hoping that out of the hundreds of thousands of people, she could find a handful within raw talent to turn them into top runners. A handful with enough raw talent to turn them into top runners. The ioc finally arrive with Athletics Kenya to assess their progress, and to start shortlisting athletes for the refugee team. They have been in there for about two hours now in a closed meeting. We dont know the outcome of what will happen, but everyone is just waiting in the sun, waiting to see what happens. Whilst the meeting goes on, rebecca tells me about her past. I was born in a refugee camp in ethiopia. Later we went back home and war broke out where my dad was killed. Where is your mum . My mum is in south sudan. I dont know exactly where she is. What happened when she went away and i was with my grandmother and siblings. We ran away together and we left her where she was. Was that hard leaving her . It was really hard and as for some years back we thought she was actually dead. Rebecca was one of 4 Million People forced to flee because of the sudanese conflict. She has been living here in the largest refugee camp in the world. The majority of the majority of the refugees are from somalia and with south sudanese, we are the minority and most of us are christian, so we are really facing challenges due to the religious differences and also the al shabab. It is really horrible for us. Sometimes, a lot of bombing and sometimes they will come and threaten our people in the community, especially when you have a shop. Many ladies from Refugee Camps, they end up giving up on life. Every time we wake up we think we have to thank god, at least we have seen a new day. It is the day after the ioc visit and rebecca and the others are training hard. They have been told that as it stands, no ones running times are good enough to qualify for the refugee team and they have a week to resubmit new ones. Rebecca must shave four seconds off her personal best if she is to qualify. Qualification, we are struggling for them to qualify, but the last group to be selected will be the best to go to rio. These people, if they were in their countryside training, they could run better. We are not going to rio to run for medals, were going to rio to show that through sports, peace can be achieved. With the help of a Scholarship Given by the International Olympics committee, Yusra Mardini is able to swim and go to an elite Sports School based at the olympic park. Her english and german have improved, and she is ever more determined to make it onto the refugee team. It is sunday. A rare day off from training. We first met after my mum had three german lessons with her, and she said she is the same age as you, you want to meet with her. We went to a 60s diner. We ate a hamburger and since then we were friends. You can move his eyes. What did you think of each other when you first met . She is crazy like me. I thought she is crazy and i would have a lot of fun. For the short time she is learning german. Sometimes it is hard to pronounce some words. That is a famous shopping street. Yusra feels settled in germany but she misses syria. She tells me about the day she left. Yusra told me the engine had stopped and the overcrowded boat was sinking. So she and her sister had to get out and swim, whilst others bailed water from the boat. After three hours in the water, yusra and the others made it safely to lesbos. From greece they made their way like the thousands of refugees before them and after them to europe. It took them 25 days to get to germany. In brazil, Yolande Mabika and Popole Misenga are within reach of the olympics. They are refugees living and training in rio dejaneiro. They both came from one of the areas worst affected during the congolese civil war. When they came to rio in 2013 for the world judo championships, they escaped from the team and made a bid for asylum. A local charity stepped in to help them continue their training here in brazil. They train in a favela west of rio. The facilities are basic. But their coaches are among the best. One of the Biggest Challenges was having to change their approach tojudo. That was the last day yolande saw her family. She does not even know if they are still alive. Popole is now married with a one year old son. He is the stepfather to his wifes three children. Now they both have just one mission. Make it onto the refugee team and, perhaps, theirfamilies back home will know they survived. With just weeks to go, training has intensified. She does on average 240 lengths per day, including one hour in the gym on top of homework and school. There is little time for much else. It is quite great coming here to watch yusra train because now, when i see her like everyone else, on the tv, i think i will feel proud watching what she has achieved and how far she has come. For the past seven months, the ioc has been following the progress of 43 Refugee Athletes around the world. Like yusra, they have all somehow overcome huge personal adversities and found hope along the way. Now, ten will go to rio to represent the 59 Million People who have been forced to flee their homes. Yusra mardini. Popole misenga. Yolande mabika. They have qualified for the olympic games. Rebecca did not make the team. She remained four seconds short of the qualifying time. But five runners from the kenya group have been selected. And their coach has been chosen to lead the team of refugee Olympic Athletes to rio.
