Originally born in Sudan, Peter was forced to move at the age of 8 as his family sought refuge in Australia from the Civil War. His journey has taken him from never even training for a track event to his hidden talent emerging at the age of 17 at a high school in Perth and eventually representing Australia at 2 Olympic Games and multiple other international events.
Today, Peter is an accomplished middle distance runner who holds the current national 800m record and in 2021, he became the first Australian athlete in 53 years to make it to the 800m final at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

I think of my community as I grew up in Perth. I think of the support I got in my Athletics training. And last but not the least, I think of the millions of souls that cheered me on in my dream at the Olympics.
