9: Refugees make their mark

The Refugee Paralympic team made a mark on the Games by winning its first-ever medal.

Zakia Khudadadi, the first Afghan female taekwondo practitioner, became the first-ever member of the Refugee Team to win a medal when she secured a bronze in the women's K44-47kg category.

"It's a reminder that people everywhere crave the same things in life: safety and a chance to fulfill their dreams," said Ruvendrini Menikdiwela, United Nations Assistant High Commissioner for Protection at the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
