Question

The value of olympics is...?

Answer 1

And so all the countries can come together and blah blah blah.

WHOO!

Answer 2

It helps bring the world together. Helping to forge bonds between the athletes that have the potential to be future country leaders.  

Answer 3

Taking part and bringing the world together.

Answer 4

a way for countries to come together and totally ignore the awful c**p they are hurling at one another as they attempt to use the metaphor of sports to emphasize how they will ultimately defeat the other once the Olympics is over and everything returns to its ugly truth.

Answer 5

A way for countries to come together, briefly, and share common goals.

Answer 6

Pretty much like the value of any sporting event at its core. It brings people together, and allows aggression (competition) without actual war. But on an international scale.

A lot of sports actually did come around as a substitution for war (including training for war).
