Mohamed, a 25-year-old Palestinian athlete, dreams of winning an Olympic medal despite limited training facilities in the occupied West Bank. Inspired by Arab Idol winner Mohamed Asaf, he trains using YouTube tutorials and occasionally accesses a football stadium. Recently, he found a coach in Texas, obtained a U.S. visa, and raised $13,000 through crowdfunding. He awaits approval from the Palestinian Olympic Committee to train abroad. To qualify for the Olympics, he must run 100 meters in under 10.4 seconds, a goal he pursues with determination despite challenges.
