South Sudanese Man Runs for Refugee Olympic Team
South Sudanese runner Paulo Amotun Lokoro is among a group 29 athletes named to the International Olympic Committee's Refugee Olympic Team. He will compete in the Summer Games in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8.
Lokoro fled conflict in South Sudan and joined others at the large Kakuma refugee camp in northwestern Kenya in 2006. He did not know at the time that he would soon take part in international sports.
Lokoro became interested in the Olympics when he was urged to compete in a 2015 marathon at Kakuma. The event was organized by the United Nations' refugee agency and Kenya's Tegla Loroupe. Loroupe was the first African woman to win a major marathon, beginning with the New York City marathon in 1994.
Lokoro said of the Kakuma marathon, "I didn't know I would go far. I was just running. We went to the field and jogged. I didn't have the psychology of being in front or behind. My aim was to just follow the people going in front of me. I found some guys were tired, and then I led them."
Lokoro competed in the Rio Olympics in August 2016 as a runner in the 1500 meter-event. Returning Olympians on the refugee team include South Sudanese runners Anjelina Nadai Lohalith, James Nyang Chiengjiek and Rose Nathike Likonyen. Others include swimmer Yusra Mardini from Syria and judo athlete Popole Misenga from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Another South Sudanese runner, Matthew Lam Joar, will return to the Refugee Olympic Team as an assistant to the coaching staff. He wants to share his experiences with other refugees.
"I will be cheering for my team – a team that I was part of and still [am] part of," he said. "We believe they are the best guys because they have the courage to start running. They are world class, running with the best in the world."
In June, IOC President Thomas Bach said it was important to have refugees join with other Olympic athletes to "send a powerful message of solidarity, resilience and hope to the world."
Lokoro said he hopes to one day compete for South Sudan in international competitions such as the Olympics.
"One day, one time, if my country settles down, maybe I will go back and represent my country," he said.
The 29 refugees competing in the Tokyo Games are from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo and Eritrea. Others are from Iraq, Syria, Venezuela, South Sudan and Sudan.

南苏丹男子代表奥运难民代表队参赛
南苏丹赛跑选手洛科罗（Paulo Amotun Lokoro）是国际奥委会难民奥运代表团的29名运动员之一。他将参加7月23日至8月8日在东京举行的夏季奥运会。
洛科罗2006年逃离了南苏丹的冲突，加入了肯尼亚西北部大型卡库马难民营。当时他并不知道自己很快就要参加国际体育比赛了。
洛科罗燃起对奥运会的兴趣是在2015年被鼓励参加卡库马举行的马拉松比赛时。这次活动由联合国难民署和肯尼亚的泰格拉·洛鲁佩(Tegla Loroupe)组织。自1994年的纽约市马拉松赛开始，洛鲁佩是第一位赢得大型马拉松比赛的非洲女性。
洛科罗谈到卡库马那场马拉松时表示：“我不知道自己会走得很远。我只是在跑步。我们去田野上慢跑。我没有那种领先或落后的心理状态。我的目标就是跟着前面的人。我发现有些人累了，我开始超过他们。”
洛科罗在2016年8月参加了里约奥运会的1500米赛跑。难民代表团的复赛奥运选手包括南苏丹运动员安杰琳娜·纳代·洛哈利斯、詹姆斯·尼扬· 基耶克和罗斯·纳西克·利孔恩。其他包括来自叙利亚的游泳运动员尤斯拉·马尔迪尼和来自刚果民主共和国的柔道运动员波普尔·米森加。
另一名南苏丹运动员马修·林·若尔(Matthew Lam Joar)将作为教练组的助理回归难民奥林匹克队。他想和其他难民分享自己的经历。
他说:“我会为我的团队呐喊助威，我是这个团队的一份子，曾经是，现在也是。”“我们相信，他们是最优秀的运动员，因为他们有勇气开始跑步。他们是世界级的选手，和世界上最顶尖的选手一起赛跑。”
今年6月，国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫(Thomas Bach)表示，让难民和其他奥运运动员一起“向世界传递团结、坚韧和希望的强有力的信息”非常重要。
洛科罗表示，他希望有一天能代表南苏丹参加奥运会等国际赛事。
“有朝一日，如果我的国家能够安定下来，也许我会回去代表我的国家（参赛），”他说道。
参加东京奥运会的29名难民来自阿富汗、喀麦隆、刚果民主共和国、刚果共和国和厄立特里亚。还有一些来自伊拉克、叙利亚、委内瑞拉、南苏丹和苏丹。
