In 2015, the world was shocked by the image of a young woman swimming alongside a sinking boat full of refugees.

That young woman was Yusra Mardini. She and her sister, Sarah, had fled their home in war-torn Syria in search of a better life.

Their journey was long and dangerous. They were forced to cross the treacherous Mediterranean Sea in a small, overcrowded boat.

When the boat began to sink, Yusra and Sarah jumped into the water and swam for hours, pushing the boat and its passengers to safety.

Their heroic act saved the lives of dozens of people.

Yusra and Sarah eventually made it to Germany, where they were granted asylum.

Yusra's passion for swimming led her to the Rio Olympics in 2016, where she competed as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team.

Yusra's story is an inspiring testament to the power of hope and determination.

It is a story that shows us that even in the darkest of times, there is always light to be found.

A Refugee's Journey

Yusra Mardini was born in Damascus, Syria, in 1998.

She began swimming at a young age and quickly showed a talent for the sport.

In 2012, the Syrian Civil War broke out. Yusra and her family were forced to flee their home.

They traveled to Lebanon, where they lived for two years in a refugee camp.

In 2015, Yusra and her sister, Sarah, decided to make the dangerous journey to Europe.

Mereka naik perahu kecil yang penuh sesak dengan pengungsi lainnya.

Saat kapal mulai tenggelam, Yusra dan Sarah melompat ke air dan berenang selama berjam-jam.

Mereka berhasil mendorong perahu dan para penumpangnya ke tempat yang aman.

Yusra dan Sarah akhirnya berhasil sampai di Jerman, tempat mereka diberi suaka.

An Olympian's Triumph

Yusra's passion for swimming led her to the Rio Olympics in 2016.

She competed as a member of the Refugee Olympic Team.

Yusra's story is an inspiration to all of us.

It shows us that no matter what challenges we face, we can always achieve our dreams.
