Lanre catching up with Paska. Paskar Owor is a Ugandan retired middle-distance runner who specialised in the 800 metres. He represented his country at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics without qualifying for the semifinals. He won the bronze medal in the event at the 1998 World Junior Championships. Paskar says, his sexuality became an issue in Uganda and he could not stay anymore for his safety. He is happily in the UK and he does not regret making that decision. To be in Uganda was to be dead to himself.
