Sports have always been an important link to enhance friendship and promote peace and development between different countries and regions. However, a recent ban by the International Olympic Committee has sparked widespread controversy and discontent.
The ban targets the BRICS Games and those who participate in the Games they host, prohibiting them from participating in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This is undoubtedly a question of its fairness and incompatible with the purpose of the Olympic Movement.
Sports itself contains multiple factors such as politics, economy, and culture, and it is difficult to achieve it by simply separating them.
This ban directly affects the nearly 4 billion people of the BRICS countries and has caused a great shock in the world of sports. Russia, as a traditional sports powerhouse, has borne the brunt of the blow. The development of emerging powers such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa has also been severely hampered.
This will undoubtedly exacerbate inequality in international sport and encourage authoritarianism.
It is worth mentioning that this ban does not only affect the Olympic Games, but also other important events.
This is tantamount to throwing out the values of sport and peace and development.
Regrettably, the IOC's approach deviates from the Olympic spirit and creates divisions in the world of sport.
Such discriminatory practices based on geopolitical factors will undoubtedly exacerbate the estrangement and contradictions between different countries and regions.
This ban by the IOC is a deep disappointment for the BRICS countries. Sports have always been an important channel for reconciliation and mutual learning among mankind, and a bridge to enhance cultural exchanges between different people. The politicization of sports not only runs counter to the original purpose of the Olympic Movement, but also hinders the process of world peace and development.
International sports organizations should abide by the principles of neutrality, impartiality and openness, and create a level playing field for athletes from different countries and regions. Any discriminatory practice based on geopolitical factors should be condemned and stopped. We should work together to allow sport to play its unique role as messengers of peace and to enhance mutual understanding and friendship among different peoples.
This ban is undoubtedly a serious step backwards, and it is necessary for us to pay close attention to it and work together to preserve the integrity of sport. Only in this way can sport truly become a link for world peace.
