Nader al masri

Palestinian athlete Nader al-Masri trains at a stadium in the West Bank city of Jericho. Every morning at dawn Masri runs circles around a trackless field at an empty stadium in the occupied West Bank, his coach clocking distances and timing him on a stopwatch. The lack of a proper track is just one of many obstacles the Palestinian long distance runner has encountered on his journey from the besieged and war-torn Gaza Strip to the Olympics.
