Daily Times April 29, 2021 ATHENS: As a teenager in Syria, Ibrahim al-Hussein dreamt of becoming an Olympic swimmer before he lost a leg in the war. Now a refugee in Greece, he is training for a place at the Tokyo Paralympics. The son of a swimming coach, Hussein, 33, began swimming aged five in the Euphrates river, which passes by his hometown of Deir al-Zor in eastern Syria. He used a bridge as a diving board until it was destroyed in his country’s civil war. In 2012, Hussein ran outside to help a friend hurt in a bomb blast, only to be injured himself. His right leg was amputated from the middle of the calf. He later made the dangerous journey to Greece in a wheelchair. “Anything is possible,” said Hussein, who competed in the Rio Paralympics in 2016 as part of the first ever Refugee Team. “Ninety percent of people in the world believe strength is in your hands, in your legs. But strength comes from inside, from the mind,” he said.
