I’m writing to inform you about the Olympic Committee and how it is based on building a better world through sports. The Olympic Committee is held through different committees from five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. The Olympic Committee has been identified to help people from 67 to 597 Olympic athletes with asthma who have experienced health issues. The Olympics also has helped disabled people who are handicapped win forty-one medals in the Olympics. Also, the Olympics comes around once every four years, holding up to 206 people to race for the tournament.

This topic is important to the world because of the health that people suffering from health issues. In most cases, I feel that with a lot of people who are suffering from health issues and have disabled issues such as being handicapped. Junge and Robert (2008, 1984) aim to help those who experience raising awareness to those who are willing to make a change by bringing around the Olympics to race to change the world expective of dealing with serious health issues. Bringing the tournament around every four years to help and allow disabled people who suffer from health issues to enter the tournament to make a change in how people who suffer from these issues. This is to make them feel good about themselves and help raise funds for making a difference for others who are suffering from the same things as these people.

However, the Olympic Committee didn’t fight to make a difference in the world regarding health issues. They also fought for equal rights for men and women in the Olympics. This led men and women to enter the tournament without being criticized for being a different race, or gender. The main focus of the Olympic Committee was to help millions of people in the world to be given a chance to either join or part be part of the tournament. They fought to make a difference in the world rather than people being in the race, or being able to watch the tournament on the sideline. The Olympic Committee fought for change and they did what they did to make the world a better place for a lot of people. People in the world suffer from different health issues and disability, and to give these people back hope that they are no different from the rest of the world. This gives them a chance to look at themselves as an accomplishment instead belittle their selves from self-worth the Olympic Committee made a difference in the world to make sports better for the world.
