Description
Under the watchful eye of her father, Libyan Retaj Alsayah practices discus throw near the edge of a dilapidated running track at the Tripoli Sports City. Despite Libya's enduring insecurity and performances still far from Olympic qualification criteria, the 23-year-old athlete hopes to cast her disc further enough to qualify for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. "We pray to God to guide her to success and enable her to achieve performances that will qualify her to participate in the Paris Olympics," says her father and coach. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
