Team Refugee
Angelina Nadai and Mohammed Doud Abubaker are both refugees living and training on the outskirts of Nairobi in Kenya.
They do not have access to a gym or any of the facilities that you would expect a high-performance athlete preparing for the Rio Olympics to enjoy but both have been trying to qualify for the Games.

Team Refugee
Rebecca Nymal and Garkouth Puok Thiep fled conflict in southern Sudan, and found sanctuary in the world's largest refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya.
Though neither had any running experience, they were given a chance by former world record holder Tegla Loroupe to earn selection for the Team of Refugee Olympic Athletes.
For the past few months, they have been training with 28 other runners in the famous Ngong Hills training area to find out if they will qualify.
Africa's 'most eligible bachelor'
The last male northern white rhino on earth has joined the dating app Tinder - as part of fundraising efforts by conservationists to save the species.
At 43 (or 100 in rhino years), Sudan is described as "one of a kind", who likes to eat grass and chill in the mud.
Attempts to mate the animal - who lives in Kenya - with only two surviving females have failed.
Conservationists say they need to raise $10m (£7.8m) to develop in vitro fertilisation (IVF) methods for rhinos.
