Ziyad Saleem is headed to the Paris Olympics to compete for Sudan , his parents’ home country.
Most of Saleem's relatives have now fled because of war and a massive humanitarian crisis.
Saleem won Sudan 's first swimming gold medal at an African Championships with victory in 200-meter backstroke.
The University of California swimmer swam next to decorated U.S. Olympian Ryan Murphy in the pool.
Ziyad Saleem was born in Milwaukee but holds dual citizenship allowing him to compete for Sudan .
He has secured Olympic berths in the 100 and 200 backstroke through each country’s one free entry, exempting him from qualifying minimums.
Saleem has been to Sudan several times and met some of his Sudanese teammates just through attending meets with them.
