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

has lost

have lost

its importance. I completely agree with

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

, 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

, 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

a proportion in relation to a whole (which is usually the amount per hundred)

percent

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

expensive and

expensive, and

this

is needed in other areas.

In addition

, it leads to hate and unnecessary

aggression which

aggression, which

are not those kinds of things we need in the 21st century.
