Some people think that the Olympics is no longer important in the 21st century. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is often argued that the Olympics

its importance. I completely agree with Suggestion
have lost
this
view as I think it is a waste of money
which could be used more wisely. Moreover
, in my opinion, countries should not compete with each other anymore as it raises aggression and racism.
Firstly
, the money
spent on organising events such
as the Olympics should be spent in areas which are more meaningful and useful for society. For events like this

are spent by building stadiums, hotels and other equipment. Meanwhile, the healthcare

Moreover
, people are dying of hunger and diseases every day, while we are competing with each other, having fun. Then
after the Olympics, we leave these buildings behind, never using them again. For example
, a couple of years ago, Brazil organised the Olympics, and a study showed that sports stadiums are not being used for anything at the moment. Therefore
, it was a waste of money
to build them for only one event.
Secondly
, I strongly believe that nations should never compete against each other. This
whole ’who is the best’ attitude is extremely toxic and does not lead to equality. In addition
, one country should not think that they are better than others, not even after the Olympics. Instead
of aggression and hidden racism, we should treat each other with respect and organise events which connect us. For instance
, there is evidence that after sports competitions such
as rugby or football, fights are 50 per cent
more common than after any other events.
To conclude, the Olympics is not useful at all since it is too a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)
