Should We Keep Olympics
The topic of my paper is whether we should keep the Olympics or should not keep the Olympics. To some people we should keep the Olympics, to other people we should not keep the Olympics. I believe we should keep the Olympics because it is a fantastic way for the best athletes in the world to show what they can do. Also, it is a good way to keep athletes healthy. People are saying we should not keep the Olympics because the Olympics do not have all the sports. Yes they do not have all sports, but the Olympics keep growing so they could add the sports they don’t have. The Olympics provide an opportunity for the world to see the best young athletes perform. These athletes work for years to train with training and diet to compete at the highest …show more content…
When the Olympics come athletes are training for months and months practicing to get ready to be perfect and ready when they go to the Olympics. To continue, they go on diets to stay healthy and fit for the Olympics. “They keep to a strict diet, and put in hundreds of hours training in a week, all for the honour of competing against the best athletes in the world.” (Debatewise.org) Without the Olympics what would some of these athletes do with their lives? They could not do what they have been dreaming to do and practicing to do since they were little kids. However, they would not be as healthy because they would not be going on diets. Lastly, if we take away the Olympics, athletes would not get to do what they have been waiting to do, they would not be as healthy and what would they do with their lives that would be as beneficial as the …show more content…
Similarly, they go on diets so they can perform at their highest peak when they compete. It can be devastating for the people who want to go watch some of the best athletes in the world. Yes, there are other things than the Olympics, but there is nothing that can show all the best athletes. You know the Olympic athletes are the best because, they have to go through a trial to get in and only five of each sport from America can get into the Olympics. Lastly, if we take it away because a couple of sports are not in then it will not be fair to the other sports that are in. All in all, the Olympics are growing so in a while all sports will be in the

    The Australian Health Survey conducted in April 2012 found that 25 per cent of Australian children and teenagers, aged five to 17 years, are overweight or obese, indicating that we need to foster a more sports-minded culture that encourages children to be physically active. (Better Health, 2015) Using the sports money to help strengthen grass route sports and physical activity is a way out of our youth and adult obesity epidemic.

    Another reflection of the Olympics is the state of the economy. If you read document 5, it talks about a major from Japan wanted the 1964 games to be held in his country. Ryutaro Azuma wanted the games to be held in Tokyo because he believed that it would help the economy and the trades in Japan get stronger. It worked well and in document 7 you can see that Japan is one of the countries, as well as the United States, that gets selected to be one of nine of the sponsors for the 1988 Olympic Games.

    Some may argue that sports play an important role in teaching life lessons to athletes. Yes, you can learn valuable things through sports, but you can take on even better traits through school and teamwork activities in the classroom without the problems that athletics comes with, like injuries and pressure. School comes before athletics and some athletes think athletics are more important than school, so eliminating sports will help these students learn valuable life lessons through school and activities in the classroom with other students.…
