That of Mohammed Al-Khatib is a story that really excites: a boy of my age who lives in a country that is not even on the map, from which he can only and exclusively come out under the permission of another state that considers him and all his fellow citizens a potential threat.

These are not enough excuses for him not to dream big.

He wants to become the first Palestinian to win an Olympic medal for his country and show the world that Palestine exists and can get on that podium!
