Excellent point by @JFCrisp on the exceptionalist framing of refugee athletes that comes with a dedicated team. However, the risk is that competing for countries of asylum reduces the likelihood of selection in a ruthless, performance based system, removing visibility altogether. https://twitter.com/JFCrisp/status/1419001828012929025
I have lost count of the no of UNHCR tweets on the Olympics.
All of which ignore the fact that these brilliant athletes should be representing their asylum country.
These 29 athletes are unfortunately proof of the power of states to exclude them from citizenship. https://twitter.com/Refugees/status/1418465909220560897
