Venezuelan boxer sees Olympic hopes rekindled
The IOC Refugee Athlete Scholarship has given a young boxer the support he needs to train in hopes of qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics – something that just months ago looked all but impossible.

Eldric Sella Rodríguez had dreamed of going to the Olympics since he was a kid.
At the age of 18, Eldric earned a place on Venezuela’s national team. He was part of the team for seven months, until he and the other newest members were let go because of a lack of resources.
