I am doing public speaking and my topic is "do the olympics matter?" What grabber do I say? As in what words?

Question

What do I say to grab their attention??

Answer 1

say hello

Answer 2

maybe some facts to start with. like...... about the rings and how the 5 colors in the ring represent things. ( the "white" in the background of the 5 ring banner is in every banner in the world) and from there u can talk about

how it does matter because it puts together countries as like a whole kinda representing peace in connection to the white color in the ring banner.  

Kinda confusing but u understand right?  

Answer 3

I don't think anyone can tell you what words, unless you think like 'Shazam!' would count as attention-getting.  But since you're talking about something that's been on a lot of people's minds lately and that a lot of your audience may have been watching, why not begin with a personal anecdote?  You know, like some funny story from when you were watching the Olympics that (hopefully) leads into your main points.

Answer 4

You could say what the highest TV ratings were for the most recent Olympics. At the peak, at least 60 million people in the U.S. watched them. So you could point out that they matter to millions of people.
