10 Beautiful Portraits of Yusra Mardini, Olympic Swimmer from Syria who Fled from the War

This is the figure of Yusra Mardini, a swimmer from Syria who became a topic of conversation worldwide after appearing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Not without reason, because Yusra has a very inspirational life story as a refugee who fled from the Syrian war that has been going on since 2011.

According to BBC, Yusra and her sister Sara left their home in Damascus and fled to Germany in August 2015.

Since then, they have been living in Berlin, and in 2016 Yusra joined the IOC Refugee Olympic Team.

Not only because of her achievements and her life story full of struggles, Yusra also became the center of attention thanks to her beauty.

Found on her Instagram account, you can find various beautiful photos of Yusra and her stylish poses while taking selfies in front of the camera.

Once named one of the most influential teenagers in the world by Time magazine, Yusra still serves as a UNHCR goodwill ambassador for refugees.

Yusra's beautiful smile never reveals her bitter past, where she had to swim and push refugee boats across the Mediterranean Sea on her journey to Greece, before finally walking to the refugee camp in Berlin, Germany.

Her name has indeed made history as the first member of the IOC Refugee Olympic Team to compete in the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Although her journey at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was halted in the preliminary round, Yusra Mardini still managed to capture the world's attention with her life story. It's really amazing! ;)
