Recently, the decision has been made to remove the sport of wrestling from the Olympics in the year 2020. This heavily-debated decision was made because it is said that wrestling does not produce adequate ticket sales and is not popular enough on the global scale. Therefore, it has been proposed that it be replaced with karate or rock climbing. With this major change in the Olympics, many are bound to suffer, such as Olympic hopefuls or even nations that are successful in wrestling. Wrestling should not be removed from the Olympics because it is a historic and quintessential part of the event.
They say in case of emergency situations you need to help yourself first then only you would be better able to help others. Getting time for one self and breaking the old patterns would be hard but what will happen to my family if I am not mentally, emotionally or physically healthy? I will reflect nothing else but only bad to them and this will make my condition even worse. The worse may happen when they will start making distance from me. Everybody likes people who are happy with positive attitude.
The Olympics are held every four years and are used as a global stage for many thousands of sportsmen and women who come from many different countries around the world to demonstrate their abilities ranging from running to rowing. In theory, the Olympic Games are supposed to be free from any politics and be purely about the athlete’s competition and celebrations. It is supposed to be non-gender, non-religion and non-race biased to show the accomplishment of the athletes that compete. Sporting officials are also supposed to be un-biased offering equal opportunities to all athletes.
I believe it takes dedication, hard work and an open mind in order to accomplish their goals. In practice, the wrestlers are placed in extreme conditions: drilling, sprinting and lifting. Often times during the week, coaches will make the wrestlers wrestle for a full thirty minutes without stopping. It's a war between two wrestlers, exhausting one other, and using all their strength until the time goes out. Then, the coaches will have the wrestlers do three in sixty, running back and forth in the wrestling room three times in sixty seconds. If the wrestlers don't achieve the goal, they have to do it again until they meet the coach's expectation. I think the workouts the coaches put the wrestlers though, it’s not for punishment. Its to prove what each individual wrestler is capable of doing.
The book of Genesis (which means “in the beginning” in its original Hebrew language) weaves an intricate tapestry of Who YHWH is through the creation of the world and mankind, the Fall of mankind through Adam and Eve, and YHWH’s plans to reconcile the broken relationship between His creation and Himself. A parallel is constructed in Genesis by “[opening] with the ‘beginning days’ (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) and [closing] with the ‘last days’ (Genesis 49:1),” creating “the framework for the entire story of humankind.” This parallelism is profound, not only in modern contexts, but because it was so unusual for an ancient Near Eastern text to have eschatology theories. While ancient Near Eastern deities might create the world, none of them had plans to
