At the 2016 Olympics in Rio the Refugee Olympic Team highlighted the plight of refugees around the world whilst providing a team through which elite sportsmen and women who are refugees themselves could compete on the highest stage. Planet Sport reporters Norman Brierley and Tom Ellis recall their time at the Rio Games meeting former women's marathon world record holder and Chef de Mission of the Refugee Olympic Team, Tegla Loroupe from Kenya and Mariama Bah, a refugee from The Gambia living in Brazil who was supporting the team.
