IF THIS DOESN'T INSPIRE YOU, NOTHING WILL!

Yusra Mardini, 18, Syrian Olympic Refugee Team.

Yusra Mardini is the face of the Olympics’ first ever team of refugees.

She had a promising swimming career in her home city of Damascus, but when the civil war started her pool was bombed and life was increasingly terrifying. Her family realized that they had to escape.

And her incredible swimming talents ended up saving both her life and 20 other people, when their small boat broke down in the Mediterranean. Yusra made it to Rio 2016!
