Does culture
influence
athletes’
performances?
More research
should be
done to see if
any of the
things
Olympians do
can be applied
to the general
public.
Countries
should not
have to
change their
culture in
order to
accommodate
their athletes
as that could
take away a
sense of
national pride
as well. So
change
nothing.
This affects
athletes’
performances,
but depending on
how the country
would like to do
in each sport this
could benefit or
harm them.

Are genetically
enhanced
athletes
beginning to
appear in the
Olympics?
This could be
helpful in
identifying the
key traits needed
in order to
become
successful in the
Olympics or life.
This could be
good or bad
depending on
how the
government
decides to bring
the prospects into
the program.
Evaluation
Research
which traits
will lead to
success and
which ones
tend to deter
from success.
The scientists
and
psychologists
are responsible
for researching
this.
The programs
should

Action
The
government is
responsible for
establishing the

the programs
run themselves
from there.
