The Olympic Games are an excellent event for bringing unity among the various nations with the representatives that they send that participate together. The Games promote unity and brotherhood, something that is important in this political climate. The Games are also beneficial for sportsmen and sportswomen that are acknowledged for their hard work and ability that is displayed in the Games. There is also a sense of national pride for those that go home with medals. They receive many accolades and awards from their home countries as well. The French Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who began the Games, would be proud to see that his heart and objective behind reviving the Games lives on even after so many years. The same sense of brotherhood that he desired is seen evidently today as well.
