In 2015, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that 10 athletes would make up the new Refugee Olympic Team for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. The IOC formed this team to increase awareness for the refugee crisis and improve attitudes towards refugees. Google provided evidence that searches for "refugee" and other similar terms and phrases skyrocketed during the Olympic Games. The present study investigates the effect of the Refugee Olympic Team on attitudes towards refugees.

The International Olympic Committee and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees jointly selected 10 athletes to form the inaugural Refugee Olympic Team (ROT) to take part in the opening and closing ceremonies and related competitions of the 2016 Rio Olympics, which attracted great attention from global media. Based on the academic perspective of global governance of refugees, this paper explores the formative motivations, formative processes and competition practices of the Refugee Olympic Team, and analyzes the combined impact of the refugee team on the refugee athletes, refugee groups, refugee communities, and global governance of refugees.

The inspirational story behind the film The Swimmers on Netflix, by Syrian refugee and Olympic swimmer, Yusra Mardini. 'An extraordinary tale of bravery, survival, and winsome, never-give-up moxie. It is impossible not to be won over by Yusra.' – Khaled Hosseini It’s important the world understands what many ordinary people must endure to find a safe place to live. If it will help others, I’ll tell my story a million times. When war broke out in her native Syria, Yusra Mardini fled to the Turkish coast in 2015 and boarded a small dinghy full of refugees bound for Greece. When the small and overcrowded boat's engine cut out, it began to sink. Instinctively, Yusra and her sister took to the treacherous open water and guided the boat for three and a half hours, helped by two other refugees, until they eventually landed on Lesbos, saving the lives of the passengers aboard. Butterfly is the story of that remarkable woman, whose journey started in a war-torn suburb of Damascus and took her through Europe to Berlin and from there to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. Yusra Mardini is an athlete, one of People magazine’s twenty-five women changing the world, on the list of TIME Magazine's most influential teens, and one of the the youngest UNHCR Goodwill Ambassadors. Yusra's and her sister Sara's story is the subject of a major Netflix film documenting her life, written by Jack Thorne. Yusra and Sara were also part of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people of 2023. Now with an updated afterword.

The world is witnessing the highest levels of human displacement on record. Journalists play an active role shaping the evolution and magnitude of a crisis as well as how they frame refugees in media. The Refugee Olympic Team (EOR) was introduced by IOC President Thomas Bach in October 2015. The purpose of this paper was to examine how the EOR team was referenced in relation to the current global refugee crisis across international news media during the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympic Summer Games. The authors conducted a content analysis of the EOR team and athletes as they appeared in international news media from October 2015 until August 2021.

Throughout history, the number of participating countries at the Olympic Games has grown. Only in 1978 and 1980, compared to the previous and following Games, the number of countries decreased significantly. With the increasing number of participant countries, the notoriety of the Olympic Games also extended. As a result, the number of partners in the OCOGs (Organising Committees for the Olympic Games) sponsorship programs increased. In 2018, there were more partners than ever before. Through investment in the Olympic Games, sponsors obtain many advantages. On the one hand, through advertisement their notoriety increases. On the other hand, the international cross-linking of sponsors extends. With the growing international fame, every time the Olympic Games are held, a certain motto that refers to international links is represented. In Rio 2016, the Olympic Games caused a sensation with the establishment of a Refugee Olympic Team (ROT). The debate of national representation and awareness grew extensively. People’s positions towards the migration movement strongly differ from each other. Some people agree with the IOC’s intention to support the migration movement and particular refugees. On the other hand, many people criticise the decreasing national character of the Olympic Games. However, at the Olympic Games in Rio 2016, the ROT marched between the Olympic flag and the Brazilian Olympic Team (cf. ibid). During the introduction of the ROT concept, Bach postulates: In the context of the selection of the athletes of the ROT, the IOC cooperated with the NOCs (National Olympic Committees). ‘NOCs around the world were asked to identify any refugee athlete with the potential to qualify for the Olympic Games Rio 2016.’ (IOC, 2016). The criteria to which refugees must adhere to be selected are ‘sporting level, official refugee status verified by the United Nations, and personal situation and background.’ (ibid). After the foundation of the ROT, people became more a more aware of the question of national representation in the Olympic Games. Since the first modern Olympics, foreign-born athletes have competed for other nations, but the establishment of the ROT – which does not represent any one specific nation – expanded debates over nationalism and national belonging.

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, 29 athletes competed for the Olympic refugee team. It was the second time in the history of the Summer Olympic Games that athletes from different origins but living under refugee conditions competed under the same flag. This article aims to analyze the composition of the refugee team, identifying the connections between the athletes' points of origin and destination and the status of official refugee data around the world. As a result, it is observed that the Olympic refugee team plays an important role in giving visibility to this social issue, which is an expensive topic nowadays and enables high-performance athletes not to be excluded from the Olympic Games due to political problems.

This article explores the representation of Yusra Mardini as a refugee Olympic athlete. Her participation in the Olympic Games 2016 is analysed through different areas of programming of the mass media and specifically through Mardini's autobiography, documents of the International Olympic Committee and German newspapers. A qualitative content analysis is carried out and a systems theoretical framework applied. The results reveal that Mardini's refugee background was both an obstacle as well as an advantage for her career within the sport system. The establishment of the Refugee Olympic Team generated positive resonance for the International Olympic Committee but also exposed contradictions in its inclusion rules.
