TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY IMAD ABU SOMBULPalestinian athlete Nader al-Masri, 28, trains at a stadium in the West Bank city of Jericho on May 1, 2008. Every morning at dawn Masri runs circles around a trackless field at an empty stadium in the occupied West Bank, his coach clocking distances and timing him on a stopwatch. The lack of a proper track is just one of many obstacles the 28-year-old long distance runner has encountered on his journey from the besieged and war-torn Gaza Strip to the Beijing Summer Olympics.
