Palestinian swimmer Mary al Atrash, 22, is one of six Palestinians competing this year in Rio as part of the largest delegation Palestine has ever sent to the Olympics Games. Al Atrash will compete in the 50 meters freestyle, but her training has been difficult due to the fact that she does not have an Olympic-size pool to train in. Nearby Jerusalem has better facilities, including several Olympic-sized pools, but because of the Israeli occupation al Atrash is unable to travel to Jerusalem to train.
