There are various opinions about whether international sports competitions help support peace among nations. While, I agree that it can really promote peace between nations despite political conflicts from them.
Starting with the negatives, misunderstandings of referees. Let’s take an example of, Olympic games 2020 there was a final fight of boxers, Daniel from Ireland and Alex from France while at the end of the fight referee announced decision and Alex lost but it was referee’s mistake and Daniel and his team started conflict with referees. Then, it turned to big scandal between countries, and citizens also were very angry with that decision. Finally, juries reviewed it and realized that they gave wrong decision while this mistake created conflict among nations and combat of sports people.
However, there are several benefits of international sports competitions. First one, know each other’s cultures better, for instance one from Germany and another from Tajikistan they can support their teams with gave right arguments, from it they improve understanding and world view. Secondly, temporary units countries come together under international rules and competition’s condition with celebrations as well.
To conclude, I still believe sporting events do promote peace, if there is not political conflicts they can unify for sure as well.
