Dana Hussein

“Life must continue, even with the security situation so bad, because I have ambitions. I love this sport too much.”

“If I leave this sport, I think life will stop.”

“Despite all these obstacles and bad security situation, I have the energy and the resolve to train, but my head is full of ideas and it distracts me, and I need to focus.”

“Sports can unify the Iraqi people - no Sunnis, no Shiites, just sport for the country.”

“To be able to live and train in Iraq under these circumstances you need to be brave.”

“I'm very ambitious, despite all the challenges I face in the streets.”

“It's my dream, my goal to be good at Olympics, anywhere they are in the world.”

“As long as I have ambition, maybe I can achieve something for my country.”

“I need one psychological expert to help me concentrate.”
