To participate or to Win This summer, we had a great joy with the Olympic games in London.We watched various wonderful matches.I appreciated the basketball match which between America and Spain, and I was happy seeing Chinese Ping-Pang team gaining the whole golden medals.Also, I was very sorry to see Liuxiang dropping out from the 110m hurdles.But this summer, whatever those athletes had, laughter and tears, they all showed us the spirit of the Olympics: \"faster, higher, stronger.\" But during the Olympic games, there were something we don\'t want to see.For example, Chinese badminton women\'s doubles players, Yuyang and Wangxiaoli, because they had gained the qualification of the elimination match, they didn\'t using their best efforts to win the match in order to help another Chinese couple to win.After the match, the Olympic committee decided to deprive their qualification, so they can\'t continue to compete.What a pity!
Actually, in the context of the Olympic movement, \"Olympic Spirit \" has a specific meaning, contents of the Olympic spirit under the Olympic Charter is \"mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play for a long time \".If somebody just want to win a game to use various methods which are unfair and immoral, he has against the Olympic spirit.Everyone will feel ashamed for him, and nobody will take pride in him at all.The Olympic spirit is holy, anyone who wants to profane it will be punished.
Also, there was a lot of athletes showed us what is the Olympic spirit.The South African sprinter, Oscar Pistorius, who doesn\'t have legs still joined the competition with other healthy people.He said: \"God can see, we are equal, and I can run as fast as they can! \" That is the Olympic spirit, not only to win, but also to participate.
