In my opinion the Olympics exploit young people using nationalist pressures. Wikipedia says:

"At the modern Olympic Games, as of the conclusion of the 2020 Summer Paralympics, eight Olympic/Paralympic athletes and three horses have died as a result of competing in or practising their sport at Games venues; one other death was potentially a result of competition. (?) "

I haven't watched the Olympics for many years. I particularly hate to see ice skaters jumping into the air, spinning and then slamming down onto the ice on their skate blades. That seems so dangerous.

Too often I have heard of gymnasts, now adults, who live in pain because their young joints were abused by competitions.
