One good way to promote world peace is through international sporting events. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

that international sporting events are an opportunity to encourage world peace between traditionally opposed nations. In my opinion, the shared

citizens and the government may have harboured animosity and prejudices towards various other countries where they have political, geographic, or economic ties.

Countries should take part in them to stir up national pride and achieve glory, not as a means to an unachievable political end.
