On | The Right to Race 

As a runner and a Swiss citizen I could only dream for Dominic Lobalu to be able to compete for Switzerland. The country would be enriched by a citizen of exceptional talent. His trainer, Marcus Hagmann, is an example of a more humane Switzerland, and he too is a source of inspiration.

This is truly a story of "believe in your dreams" Dream On.

Best thing I’ve watched all year. Truly inspirational. Best of luck to Dominic!

Yesterday I saw Dominic in Diamond League 5k race in Oslo competing for Switzerland, finally. I´m literally crying... He improved his personal best and made the new national record. I really wish he qualifies for Olympcs. Fan from Czech Republic :)

Dominic is clearly an exceptional talent, anyone who can get even near Jacob Kipling or beat him is very very very special, l wish him all the best in the pursuit of his Olympic dream. 🇬🇧

this is the stuff the sport needs

Epic and inspiring video. Congratulations to Dominic on your great accomplishments thus far. All the best to you in everything you do. Looking forward to seeing you compete for Switzerland 🇨🇭 at the 2023 World Athletics Federation Track and Field Championships, and 2024 Olympics.

An amazing runner with an amazing heart. He deserves it all.

What an incredible story. Kudos to the whole team for bringing this to life. Looking forward to seeing Dominic continue to chase his dreams ⚡

Inspirational 👏 ! Keep going Dominic, a fan of yours from Malaysia 🇲🇾 !

I was watching the London track meet today and they mentioned this documentary. I immediately paused the track meet to watch this doc. I am now a fan!! I will be cheering and praying his success at the 2024 Olympics!

What a brilliant coach.

What an inspirational story for all of us especially for refugee in all over the world..Good luck Dominic a fan of yours from Eritrea 🇪🇷

It's such an inspiring story and hope more people could have the luck to watch this. Right after seeing this , I google and found the updates as below. All the best to Dominic !!! You are the hero, man ! Love it . Below is the news I just googled. FYI. New athlete invited to join the IOC Refugee Olympic Team Paris 2024. The EB decided to extend an invitation to Dominic Lobalu (athletics) to join and be a full member of the IOC Refugee Olympic Team Paris 2024.Considering that Lobalu has a refugee status in Switzerland, verified by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), and has recently achieved the World Athletics standard for participation in the Olympic Games (5,000m), he is fully eligible to be included in the IOC Refugee Olympic Team with immediate effect.

amazing story! kudos to On for supporting him along side with markus, hoping his submission get approved. much love.

Wow! He is such a talent & deserves his place competing against the best on the World stage ❤

I came across your video last night while repairing a give away bike. I am overwhelmed with the whole story. His deep gratitude and the rays of love he felt must have warmed him up on those cold days. Five minutes after watching this video, I pulled up the Olympic 5000m to see if he was there. This was the 4th time I’ve watched it and the best one, because I knew the back story of an amazing young man. Dominic Lobalu, I send you positive vibes across the universe in your direction.

Inspirational! Keep going Dominic, a fan of yours from Brazil 🇧🇷!!!!

Glückwunsch zum 10K Win! Gönne es ihm so sehr ! :)

What a great video. "When the coach said 10 minutes off his 10k in 3 years. It's unbelievable. " I got goosebumps. LOL.

I'm rooting for Dominic from UK. ❤

so well done. made me a fan.

Absolutely beautiful I hope someone of his character and talent can be allowed to show it on the world stage, what an inspiration.

We need more of these! This is the type of content that connects us all.

Embodies everything I love about my sport, my life & my passion. Running is so simple and pure. Good luck to this man

Very inspiring 🙏🏻 Both the runner and the coach! And the landscapes 😊

Just brilliant.

See you in the Olympics..your story is an inspiration Hope one day i could get to run a race together

He is going to be the greatest I promise.🙌🏾

These are the type of stories that we need to share to get more people involved in running. Amazing story and gives someone to root for

OMG 😭😭😭❤ so beautiful this story. Um abraço do Brasil. ❤🇧🇷

Beautifully told Story. This is a true athletic inspiration.

10000m European Champion 2024

Don't understand World Athletics attitude on this at all? He might be a "Hero to Refugees" said as if it's an awful thing. They seem to have a very weird stance of acting like bystanders.

Story was so inspiring & transformational…👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I've really appreciated this story of Dominic Lokinyomo Lobalu and the risk that he has assumed from leaving his natal country (South Sudan) until to left the ART( Athlete Refugee Team ), he was at the limit of wasting all but fortunately as himself said, he was born to suffer even to be punished before reaching the success. He met Markus Hagmann, an man with a great heart that opened the doors to his home and his country (Switzerland). Markus became not only the Dominic's coach, the friend, the father, the guide to lead to the right way. I look forward to seeing Lobalu at World Athletic Championship 2023 in Budapest and after that at the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris. My best wish to Lobalu and all the team that support him.

unreal. so much potential. huge testiment to mark on how giving someone the opportunity and right guidence can wield world record results

Best Video i See this year ❤ good luck from Germany. He is a true Inspiration ❤

Adorei! grande atleta e treinador. a história de vida é muito comovente. Parabéns à On pelo excelente documentário.

I love watching it here. But as for me i feel like a refugee and a terror to the champs am motivated

What is the song in the closing credits? Amazing story, beautifully made video, and great human beings involved. Thank you for sharing and supporting this man’s dream.

Belíssimo documentário. Todo sucesso ao Dominic

such a great and overwhelming Story

Wow, it's wild how many of us kill ourselves training to get a scholarship to college and then you have people like this killing themselves to compete at a high level just to support their families. It really makes me thankful for what i have and how lucky we are that we could give up running and live a normal life, whereas that wouldn't be possible for him and his family.

Beautiful

The best and inspiring video ❤😅all love Dominic 💎💎💎

What a human story 😭

Beautiful story!

What is the song playing at the end credits?

Best video i ever watched

Like watching a movie! But better cause we'll see so much more of him, I'm sure

i didn't cry, you did!

Inspiring

who the hell is cutting onions up in here😆 great stuff!

Good luck Dominic !

Way to build a story. Great production

Incroyable

I've been trying to figure out the song/artist of the "Glory" song at the end of the credits but no luck. Does anyone know who it is and if it can be downloaded somewhere online? Great inspirational song for my running playlist!!!

Now I understand "Dream On"

Amazing story and video!

i hope he makes it to the olympics!!!

See you in Budapest Dominic!

감사합니다 전 당신을 응원합니다 그나저나 ON 계속 서포트 해주세요!!

Wow awesome story

❤

awesome video

Yes, he should be able to participate. Yes, he should obtain Swiss nationality. Yes to so many of the questions raised by this documentary, which is very touching and made me cry. But... Should he be treated better than other refugees, who did not win the DNA lottery and are not so talented? Shouldn't every human being be treated in the best way possible?

WE HAVE TO MAKE HIS DREAM BECOME TRUE :)

I need you sir...I am here alone...I am the best runner
