The 24-year-old pointed to a Palestinian flag on his chest
PARIS - Palestinian swimmer Yazan Al Bawwab's sole Olympic race lasted less than a minute but just being in the water was a statement in itself.
"I'm very, very happy ... to raise my flag, to have time just for Palestine, a lane just for Palestine. I think this is my message of peace. More than 39,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive in Gaza, say local health authorities. "I look at people like my dad who came from nothing," he said. "I'm never complaining in the pool, I remember people in Gaza, people in Palestine that suffer properly. I don't mind if I'm waking up at 5am. It's not a problem.""A lot of people don't want us to be here. They don't want to see the flag. They don't want to hear my country's name," he said. "They don't want me to exist. They want me to leave. But I'm here.
