Refugee athlete to make history for second time at Youth Olympics

When he started running, Yiech Pur Biel had to compete barefoot. Far from home in a new country, it was the first step towards rebuilding his life as a refugee.

"That's when I decided now it is time to depend on myself and also to start a new life with determination," he tells BBC Newsbeat.

In 2016, Biel made history competing in the 800m event as part of the first Olympic refugee team at the Rio summer Olympics in Brazil.

Ten years on, he's making history again leading the first refugee team for the Youth Olympics as their Chef de Mission.
