It is often argued that the Olympics
has lost

its importance. I completely agree with

view as I think it is a waste of

Use synonyms
which could be used more wisely.
Moreover
Linking Words
, in my opinion, countries should not compete with each other anymore as it raises aggression and racism.
Firstly
Linking Words
, the
money

spent on organising events
such
Linking Words
as the Olympics should be spent in areas which are more meaningful and useful for society. For events like

, huge amounts of public
money

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

system is about to collapse in many countries.
Moreover
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, it was a waste of
money

to build them for only one event.
Secondly
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, 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

more common than after any other events. To conclude, the Olympics is not useful at all since it is too

In addition

, it leads to hate and unnecessary
