Team Refugees at Olympic can choose their own flag and anthem, thanks to a group of refugee supporters, whove joined creative forces under the name Refugee Nation.


At last weeks Olympic opening ceremony in Rio, the first-ever Refugee Olympic Team marched in the Parade of Nations carrying flags emblazoned with the five-ring Olympics logo.

 

It was a powerful unifying gesture in a time marked by global unrest; these ten athletes were representing not just their war-torn countries, but the world.
