Description: Around 10,500 athletes from over 200 countries are gathering for the Olympic Games in France, each with dreams and hopes built through thousands of training hours. IOC’s Refugee Team includes athletes who cannot compete for their home countries. One of them is 27-year-old Saman Soltani, an Iranian exile who fled to Europe due to safety concerns. Once a known figure in Iran, she now competes after overcoming years of obstacles.
