Band 6

Some people say that competition has become too intense in the major international sporting events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup. This excessive competition can lead to conflict between nations, rather than the harmony that these events were originally designed to bring about. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #competition #events #olympics #world #cup #conflict #nations #harmony
In some societies, some people insist that
competition
 has gotten worse in international sporting events, like the Olympics and the World Cup.
This
 type of
competition
 can allow conflict between countries,
instead
 of the harmony that these events were naturally designed to talk about.
Then
, why does it happen? It is because most people believe that the winner takes it all so if the player does not bring a medal to the nation, they believe that the player is a loser and the game was ruined. I believe that
this
situation
 can harm sportsmanship and excessive
competition
 can lead nations to be conflicted.
For example
,
this
 kind of
situation
 can be seen in various countries. In Korea,
competition
 in sporting events can be seen easily. When Mao Asada lost between figure games with Yuna Kim in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, a number of Japanese citizens criticised Yuna Kim that she had cheated Mao Asada. Based on
this
, I believe that increasing
competition
 in the major international sports games can lead various countries and nations to end on bad terms.
Then
, how can people enjoy a game without
competition
? The answer is in our peaceful mind. Enjoying a game with an easy mind can lead us to less
competition
 and it can make sportsmanship. I do think that it would be difficult to change
this
situation
 easily but less competing in sports games can lead us to enjoy happy hours and the sportsmanship culture will be turned into a better
situation
 as soon as possible.
