Under pressure?
In the following paragraphs, ru be
writing my thoughts and ideas about the
pressure that's put upon athletes in the
• Olympics.
To begin with If think that athletes do
have too much pressure put upon them
when they are in the Olympics. All of their
coaches, fans and competitors pressure
them into taking drugs, such as steroids.
The latest story of an athlete that didhave
too much pressure was the story of Ben
Johnson. Ben Johnson, the Canadian
sprint runner, who is known throughout
the world as the fastest man, tested
positive twice for steroids. With that, he
•lost his world title, and his gold medal.
also think that most athletes have lots of
pressure put upon them because there's
alot of money for them if they win. They
might just bend the rules sometimes top!
To conclude, If think that athletes do
have too much pressure put upon them.
Especially when they are in a huge com-
petition like the Summer or Winter Olym-
pics. 1 think that people likeus, should just
leave the athletes alone and don'tpressure
them as much. If you think about it though,
if .the athletes weren't pressured, there
wouldn't be the Summer or Winter Olym-
pics anymore for u.s to watch tutd enjoy. So
guess it's .ahight, but It ust think that
there is too much pressure put upon them
these days. Tammy Ikleable
