In the absence of adequate information for her story coupled with Samias attempts to hide her identity, the digital traces left behind by the athlete serve as invaluable sources for the author. Weaving together Samias Facebook posts, text conversations, and information sourced from journalists, Reinhard Kleist recre ates the lost story of an Olympian. This chapter aims to study the role of Facebook posts in disseminating Samias story to readers and creating a narrative arc for her Olympic journey. Employing the theoretical lens of Vulnerability Studies along with Digital Postcolonialism it attempts to unpack the athletes story. Through an in-depth study of the graphic novel characterized by its tenuous use of social media posts, this chapter examines how social discrimination, surveillance and margin alization render a refugee woman athlete from the Global South highly vulnerable. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
