After Fleeing Syria, These Refugees Return to Cycling

A group of Syrian professional cyclists are getting the chance to train again in Germany. After the crisis in Syria forced them to flee, these refugees have found their way back onto the velodrome with help and donated gear from Berlin Cycling Head Coach Dieter Stein. Watch how visibly relieved these athletes are to be back on bikes after two months of upheaval, chaos—and few chances to ride. As mentioned in the video, the IOC has changed its rules and the 2016 Olympics will be the first time refugee athletes can ride for their new countries.
