Most of the athletes representing the Palestinian territories at the Paris Olympics were born elsewhere.
They are eager to compete but say their presence at the Games isn’t only, or even primarily, about sports.
With Israel and Hamas locked in a brutal war that has killed tens of thousands in Gaza , these athletes carry heavier burdens.
Even under the best of circumstances, it is difficult to maintain a vibrant Olympics training program in Gaza .
Gaza -born weightlifter Mohammed Hamada , a flag bearer at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics , did not make the cut.
Hamada moved to Gaza 's southernmost city of Rafah and trained there for 25 days , but lost about 18 kilograms (40 pounds) Hamada eventually secured a visa to leave Gaza and moved to Qatar to continue his training.
Jayousi said winning medals is not the top priority for the athletes who made it to Paris .
