WHAT IS MORE…

20
Food for
thought "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is
not to win but to take part, just as the most
important thing in life is not the triumph but the
struggle. The essential thing is not to have
conquered but to have fought well”.

21
 Ping-Pong
Ping-Pong diplomacy , a
contributor to the thaw in
international relations during
Cold War, was a testament to
the potential capability of sport.

22
 I have a dream and
it is unconquerable
◦ “As Syrian gymnast Ahmad al-Sawas
watched his country fall apart, his
Olympic dream collapsed too.”
(Reuters)
◦ The Refugee Olympic Athletes team,
who fought to fulfill their Olympic
dream, reminded us of how human
courage and perseverance can prevail
over intimidating forces.

23
 In search of the
depth of life

◦ Implicitly, philosophies of
life are manifest in sport.
◦ To exemplify, the distance
between victory and failure
can be as short as a once-
in-a-lifetime chance

24
Cultural delivery

◦ Sport combined creatively

with other aspects can
generate uniqueness in
the strategic approach to
cultural popularization.

ANALYSIS TOPIC

26
 The viewpoint
“Sport is nothing more than a leisure activity”
Vs. “Sport should only be considered a leisure activity”
no criticisms of the negative aspects of sport
Vs. “Sport is a leisure activity”
should not only mention the leisure-related side of sport
(e.g. “It helps people relax and have fun with friends in their
free time.) in an impartial manner

27
SPORT may attach to different ideas

Different connotations

28
 ◦ “Sport is nothing more than a leisure activity.”
• Suggestion: Consider the following questions:
 Why this statement is justifiable?
 What cause people to think so?
◦ The reasons should stem from sport that influence
people’s perception of it  limiting its role only to the
scope of a leisure activity.
