Say No to Team Sports
L. Han
Dear Olympic Committee Members,
I am writing to request that you make a change to the sports allowed in the Summer Olympics. The Olympics are all about winning and earning medals for your country. They are also about finding out who are the best athletes in the world in each event. For this reason, only individual sports should be allowed.
Team sports, such as volleyball, baseball, and basketball, should not be allowed in the Olympics. In sports such as these, it is impossible to tell who the best athlete is, since everyone on the team is working together. If a player from one team is better than all the players from another team, it is not fair if that player does not win a medal only because the second team played better together.
A better solution would be to only include individual events, such as track, wrestling, and gymnastics. This way, when an athlete wins a medal, it will be because of that athlete’s skill and not because of his teammates.
Thank you for listening to my concerns. I hope that you will agree with me and make these changes to the Summer Olympics.
Sincerely,
Tomas Larocha
