Nazir Jaser

Nazir Jaser (born 10 April 1989) is a Syrian cyclist.

[9] Jaser's father would die when he was 10 years old, and starting at age 12 he would begin working as a tailor until war reached his town, forcing him to flee to Damascus.

[3][4] He, the occasional captain, and the other members of the Syrian national team would sell their bikes and begin the journey to seek refuge abroad.

[9][10] He would be part of a group that used an inflatable boat to travel from Turkey to Greece, before he began building a new life for himself in Germany which he reached in 2015.

[3][10][11] The refugees rejoin the world of competitive cycling in a velodrome in Berlin, bonded under Frank Röglin who would act as a coach and teacher as they acclimated to their new home and formed an amateur cycling team.
