For the first time in 10 years, Olympic swimmer and refugee Yusra Mardini returned to the pool in Syria where her dream began. A decade ago, she was forced to flee her home. But even as a refugee, she never stopped swimming, never stopped striving—and ultimately made it to the Olympics. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of sport. Sport provides more than just an arena for competition—it offers hope, purpose and the strength to rebuild. For refugees worldwide, it can be a lifeline, a way to heal and a path toward a brighter future. #SportsDay
