Syria's Olympic Committee is sending seven athletes to compete in Rio this month, in athletics, swimming, judo, table tennis and weightlifting. That the committee is run out of Damascus by the government of President Bashar al-Assad has effectively ruled out anyone who lives in rebel-held areas, including the Bustan al-Qasr district of Aleppo where 19-year-old Ahmad al-Sawas makes a living selling and repairing electronic equipment in his father's shop. In another reminder of the impact of the war on sport, two athletes originally from Syria will also compete in Rio under the banner of the first-ever Olympic refugee team. One of the seven competing under the national flag who did train abroad is 50m freestyle swimmer Baean Jouma: the first Syrian to qualify by meeting the Olympic qualifying standard - rather than via the wild card system - since heptathlete Ghada Shouaa, who won Syria's only gold medal in 1996.
