Biography

Jaser was born April 10, 1989 in Aleppo, Syria.[8] He would begin cycling at age 4.[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.[4][9][12]
