Beautiful and inspiring. From saving her life, swimming and pushing dingy for three hours to reach Greece, to Rio 2016. That is a gold medal achievement in itself.
I'm not judging, and I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I would genuinely like to understand why would anyone dislike this video?
+BaladiAkka1948 unfortunately your are true.. only thing we can do is show the best in us.. each person can make a difference.. mmm and no I didn't saw her.. but I will search out of curiosity.. thanks
+BaladiAkka1948 انها انتهت ههههههههههههههه لا انا بفهم عربي... و لا قصة الاسراييلي يعني مش معقول الغباء خالشهب فاق الحدود بالهبل... شفت الفيديو هو عاليوتيوب عطول لقيته.. رائعه هي و ابوها جد ماشالله عليها
This is why the Olympics is such an amazing event, it provides us with rags-to-riches stories like this, and real underdogs to support outside of our own countrymen and women! I'll be cheering for team GB and the refugee team, you go Yusra!
Just watched biopic of yusra mardani.. A really an inspiring story ever been witnessed. Particularly at 17 most of them will be busy in internet, but she achieved Olympic 🤸♀️🥇🏆 medal means a lot. After Olympic she stood as supporting person for so many syrians
I'm happy that the country and most of the society i live in is able to give her a new home and all oppertunitys she needs to continue a full & happy life after all the losses and terror she had to encounter. Proud of our refugee programm .. no human is illegal !
I understand that you're German, well, I just want to say to you that you are awesome! Germans are awesome! And as Syrian/Canadian, I can only say THANK YOU!! My endless love to you and to Germany
Good Luck from Syria. You put a smile on the faces of many many SAA soldiers fighting hard here in Aleppo. You reminded them of why we wont give up. Godbless kiddo. In our eyes you allready won more than a medal can get, and you make us all proud
Yusra we are reading about you in Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls and my daughter watched this video at school here in the UK. You are amazing and such a role model for young women everywhere.
You are truly an inspiration! What you did pushing that boat to safety through the sea is your gold medal. Congratulations and good luck for the Olympics!
She's a refugee like my parents. She was forced to grow up fast, and I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing. If you girls do have the privilege of having access to social media, I don't think it's a bad thing. Believe it or not, you become more worldly because of how fast information spreads. Just because 17 year olds' lives "revolve" around Instagram doesn't mean that they won't lead a beautiful life, as well. Thanks for taking the time to support Yusra, though. :)
ikr hhhhhhhhhh there is a difference between a refugee and normal person life .a teenager girl revolve around instagram does not have any relation about managing her life. i think it is all about goals the real difference between her and other girls is that she had goals and will that is all sorry for my English
You go, girl! The refugee team is an awesome idea, making it possible for those athletes to continue top level training and pursue their dreams and goals and creating awareness... Yet I think those guy and gals should be starting for the country where they live now. That'd be a great way for Germany to better embrace its Syrian refugees (or for Kenia to embrace the Sudanese ones, and so on) and to show the world that those people deserve a new home that welcomes them - not an eternal refugee status.
Why can't our governments let in more people like her? There are plenty of Syrian athletes, doctors, engineers etc. who should get priority as they are less likely to be dangerous and give back to their host country. Unfortunately because of political correctness our governments don't want to give priority to genuinely talented people and want to let in anybody who could be a criminal or have radical views with no concern for the nation or its people.
This is not correct. The U.S. has only accepted a couple thousand Syrian refugees over the past few years, each of whom must go through a thorough, 2-year-long vetting process. When you only take a couple thousand out of millions, you not only get to be pretty selective, but really, you have to be. Judging by our current political climate, the politically correct thing to do is actually to do what you have done: to speak of refugees as if most of them are criminals, and to suggest that refugees like Yusra are some sort of anomaly, rather than the norm.
Let in the engineers, doctors, athletes because they are less dangerous... but what about someone who's a cook? a stay-at-home-mom? a farmer? someone who was unemployed due to bad luck or due to a chronical illness? What about a recovering drug addict? Saying who's life is or isn't worth saving just because of their education or something they did in the past isn't ethical. It'd be unconstitutional in Germany.
What a great thing, I just learned today, that there is a Refugee Team. And this girl is amazing, really impressive! Best wishes from the western part of Germany! :-)
I wish she was with us. I applaud Gemany and Merkel for doing so much in the way of helping people like her. The rest of the world, should be ashamed, for not stepping up.
very impressive story but I didn't quite get if this refugee team is a pro level team witch gives the members a good opportunity to continue their career or if it's like the wildcards for the developmentcountries
Jonathan Rimek To go to the olimpics you need a minimum score (either time, or whatever you do is mesured with), so the refugee team is just so refugees who could have gone there representing their countries can still go... Most of them are not medal contenders, but still, we cant let such a horrible thing as war take the opportunity of going to the olymlics from them!
Who is here after watching 'The Swimmers'?
Me
Lol
Ana
And reading the book as well. It's a great read.
Me
I've never supported anybody so much. For the first time in my life I'll watch the games for you. You're the true hero Yusra.
Awww bless you
Beautiful and inspiring. From saving her life, swimming and pushing dingy for three hours to reach Greece, to Rio 2016. That is a gold medal achievement in itself.

Answer: Ignorant losers.
hhhhhhhhh exactly.. why
+BaladiAkka1948 poor minds bro .. but thank God that still there are good people in this world and will always be!
+BaladiAkka1948 unfortunately your are true.. only thing we can do is show the best in us.. each person can make a difference.. mmm and no I didn't saw her.. but I will search out of curiosity.. thanks

God bless you and your country on your support to the refugees.
Good Luck from Syria. You put a smile on the faces of many many SAA soldiers fighting hard here in Aleppo. You reminded them of why we wont give up. Godbless kiddo. In our eyes you allready won more than a medal can get, and you make us all proud
if the AL-NUSSRA wins I pray you don't behead her for not being a good Muslim, like what you did to a 12 year old boy.
+Hady Hakim The SAA is fighting against Al-Nusra, you know.
Never been happier to share my name with someone 💕
Yusra S same
Heyyy
With respect, She is drop dead gorgeous.
i'm so proud of you
Yeah .especially what is happening in her country
I'm her friend we was in damascus syria then she decieded to greece then berlin germnay and in our country there is a war
+Yaman Nahhas lies you never knew her
She just won her first heat! Delighted for her! Hope she can go all the way.
and she saved families and kids i saw her infront of me
She's more than beautiful
Yeah young girl
There are something about kurdish girl.
+Maldini Maldini She isn't kurdish, she is from "daryya near damascus
Her name is after the Kurdish city Mardin ' and she is so beautiful then she must be Kurdish ;P
+Maldini Maldini maybe because we kurds in Germany no any one know us the just say Arabs
THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEED.
Equality.
Yusra we are reading about you in Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls and my daughter watched this video at school here in the UK. You are amazing and such a role model for young women everywhere.

Congrats girl!!! You CAN DO IT! GO WIN the medal! supporting Refugee Olympic Team !
Yusra, you are a real inspiration. Thank you for doing everything you do. Good luck, you will go very far.
You are truly an inspiration! What you did pushing that boat to safety through the sea is your gold medal. Congratulations and good luck for the Olympics!
It makes me so happy to see her prosper and become what she's always dreamt of becoming. Truly a big inspiration.
Go Yusra! Supporting you and the entire Refugee Olympic Team from the USA!
While most 17 year old girls revolve around Instagram, she's doing this. She's going to have a beautiful life
This is what I call dedication - something we lack now these days...
Lol that's not a fact.
She's a refugee like my parents. She was forced to grow up fast, and I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing.

Have you seen her instagram? Because it is hawt
Just listening the way she talks... you easily see how her mental game and determination are strong. Inspiration.
Yusra you’re amazing!! Such an inspiring young athlete. I hope you and your family is safe and happy now
All the best, I will be supporting you.
She won her 100 butterfly heat
Opps ... I think something 's in my eye .... Congratulations ...
Dr. Gordon I will cry a river when HL3 will be released
M Bairekdar Me too, but it's complicated. : -(
She is amazing. A real inspiration. Good luck to her and to all the refugee team.
