The Importance Of Baking Over Competing In The Olympics

The 2018 Winter Olympics are here, which means that snowboarders, skiers, sledders, and many other people get to show off their skills in the most prolific sports events of all time. Winning gold is every athletes’ goal and dream, but just making it into the Olympics is a great achievement itself, and shows how skilled you are. The events, competitors, and history of the Olympics are all huge topics that can be explored and elaborated on endlessly. A single event can be used for many essays and reports, which this essay is an example of.

Professional athletes who make millions of dollars a year tend not to get as much out of the Olympic experience. They fly in just before their event, stay in the most expensive hotel, and fly back home after their event is over. They miss the Olympic village, the interaction with other athletes, and sometimes even the ceremonies.

Professional Athletes are well known in their sport, and tirelessly training and put on strict diet so they can perform as best as they can and

To successfully understand what differentiates a professional athlete from an amateur athlete, and the issues that arise from it, we must understand how the International Olympic Committee defines a professional and amateur athlete. According to the “Eligibility Rules of the International Olympic Committee” published in 1964,

Competition is healthy and athletes train to prepare for the ultimate goal, victory. Today’s athletes have diverse backgrounds, and only need to demonstrate a talent before perfecting their skill. Sports have been around from ancient times to present day, and are an integral part of our society. If modern day athletes knew the outcome of a sporting event could be influenced by the gods, would they still compete? Homer’s epic narratives, Iliad 23 and Odyssey 8, describe athletic contests that occurred in the ancient world (Kyle 53). Homer’s heroes were the athletes, and were held to certain Greek values, they had to be an agathos and have arête in order to compete in sporting events

Sports are part of our lives and inspire a lot of person all around the word to become a champion. I think almost every competitive athlete aspires to complete at the Olympic Games one day and to hope to accomplish awesome performances. Few are those who reach this level and make it a living but we all know that it is possible. Some people say that you can only be an Olympic champion if you have a lot of talent but I don’t believe in this vision. I think you need way more than talent to succeed and that the key to success is hard work, passion, determination and confidence. I this text I will talk about Canadian’s performances and show why we should be proud of our athletes and I will also talk about the emplacement of the games in Rio.

The average person spends about four hours of training and sports pro athletes spend about eleven hours of training and conditioning. Lots of people think they can throw a ball one hundred feet at ninety five miles per hour but when they try they might not even throw it seventy miles per hour. Professional athletes have specialized skills on and off what they play. NFL athletes aren't just good on the field. For example, the average lineman can lift about three hundred and fifty pounds just on a bench press! Professional athletes have a better mindset on training n hard for whatever sport they play. Olympic athletes are confident on winning gold so they train for gold. Professional athletes can do what no others can

Another significant extra-curricular activity I pursued for eight years is figure skating. I started at six and quit at sixteen. I like to consider myself as a successful athlete becuase I competed in lots of competitions and received approximately 30 metals. I competed individually at the regional level and with my synchronized skating team at the national level. During my figure skating career, I tested my dances, skills and solo and have almost all possible levels for each area of the discipline

Would you want to become an Olympic athlete? The Winter Olympic is a very important event because it only happens every four years. Since it’s an important event many athletes work super hard to get ready. Are the Olympics for you? In my opinion, I would not want to become an Olympic athlete because I would have to waste a lot of money, I have to practice a lot, and I would get severely injured.

I relish both individual and team sports. I have been involved at a competitive level in swimming, gymnastics and cycling. I have swum for many years and competed at regional level and in the National Arena League (team event) with fellow swimmers at my club. This required a great deal of dedication and excellent time management in order to balance the volume of training required with continued academic success. I have a love of cycling and have recently begun to compete in road races, with the ultimate aim of reaching elite level. Cycling and swimming are heavily reliant on fitness hence this has inspired my interest

Athletic festivals like the Olympics were held in Greece to offer athletes the chance to compete in events to obtain glory and acclaim. Competitors would often size up the competition before they competed and sometimes this led to athletes withdrawing themselves from the competition all together before it even began. This seems ridiculous as these athletes would train year round for these festivals and one would assume they would compete at all costs. However, in ancient Greece, some athletes would rather withdraw and not compete at all than suffer the blow to their ego that comes with losing to another athlete (Scanlon 80). In their minds, the chance of public humiliation should be avoided at all costs.

Track and Field is one of the most rigorous, challenging, and mentally difficult sports that has ever come to exist, and the Olympics is based almost entirely on the topic of Track and Field. You need to be strong mentally, physically, and socially. Every important thing that works with your character or physical strength is required for Track. I’ve only been in track for one year and it is my absolute favorite sport without a single doubt in my mind. The kind of encounters you have make every single race one of the most exciting times of your life.

Baking and cooking are both very different but one takes the cake in my book and that 's baking, whether it be how the end result is much prettier, the comfort of less area to mess up, or that its revolved around sweet things than savoury, all these things contribute to baking being better than cooking! Though cooking is not an exact endeavor I think by comparing and contrasting the differences between baking and cooking many people can come to the conclusion that baking is better for cooking. Many would argue in favor of cooking but I’m here to argue for baking for a multitude of reasons. When one looks at these two methods, I think it’s important to look for meaning behind one’s own thoughts. Many of the things I’m arguing for here have a basis in some of the many things I’ve learned while doing both baking and cooking. Through looking at the benefits of pitfalls of both cooking and baking I think it’s easy to conclude that baking is the superior method of the culinary arts.

Webster’s American Dictionary defines an Athlete as “a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.” The word originates from Middle English, from the Latin word athleta, which further is from Greek athlētēs from athlein to contend for a prize, from Athlon prize, contest. So basically, the word originates as someone who competes for a prize, but the word has evolved to generally mean someone who does it in activities requiring physical strength. However, why is this the way it is? Why is someone who trains and competes in a math tournament, commonly referred to as a “mathlete”, not a true athlete, by definition?

I cannot imagine working day in and day out seven days a week every day of the year. There is no cheating your diet, no skipping workouts, and never any time to hang out with friends and mess around. By the time the Olympics comes around the talented multi-sport athletes are hopefully more than ready, having prepared for the last four years with the best teachers and trainers in the nation. While it would be an amazing experience for most athletes it is an even bigger sacrifice for their closest family and friends. Most parents of these athletes are forced to work multiple jobs to pay for training and airline for multiple competition and more training. Not being able to see your own child for extended periods of time would also be very hard. It takes a full family’s efforts and support for a sibling or child to reach the Olympics, but in the end win or lose I’m sure it is always worth it. The 2020 Olympics are approaching quickly, and new building are being rapidly built all around Tokyo Japan, where the next Olympics is set to take place. Many athletes are training their minds and bodies for the challenge of their lives. While Japan tries to put plans into action and make the maximum amount of profit in hosting the countries 4th Olympic
