Some people say the Olympic Games are not relevant in the 21st century. Do you agree or disagree. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
If
sports
is a way of life, then
the Olympic Games personifies it. There are some who think that the Olympics
are losing relevance, whereas others think that they are still significant. Not only this
essay will discuss both views, but also
it will answer why I support the latter view.
I disagree with the argument that the Olympics
is losing relevance, as it is still the most famous event of sports
in the world. Additionally
, it is the largest congregation of competing countries to showcase their advancement in sports
. For instance
, even in the era of pandemics, Japan again proved to the world that, how important sports
are for humankind. Moreover
, it brought joy to millions of suffering souls. Also
, sports
help to bridge gaps among nations. For example
, East and West Germany were separate countries, but they still participated in the Olympics
as one nation and it paved the way for their integration. Hence
, going by the popularity and benefits of organising the Olympics
, it can be inferred that the Olympics
are here to stay.
To conclude, some nations might feel alienated at the Olympics
and some sports
still can't find their way to it, but, I am of the opinion that the popularity of the Olympics
has skyrocketed over the years due to its unifying theme. Thus
, the Olympics
is a going concern.Submitted by amreshcg on
