A "Refugee Athlete" is an individual who has been forced to flee their home country due to conflict, persecution, or violence and has a passion for sports. These athletes often face significant challenges, including limited resources and support, as they adapt to new environments while pursuing their athletic goals. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has recognized the importance of supporting refugee athletes by creating the Refugee Olympic Team. This team allows these athletes to compete at the Olympic Games, showcasing their talent and resilience while raising awareness about the plight of refugees worldwide.
