To compete or not compete

Sochi winter Olympics

In the Sochi winter Olympics in Russia some athletes in the slope style have chosen to not compete in the competition because the track is too dangerous and are worried that they could hurt themselves and end their courier and never compete again.  Some said that they would keep competing to show that they aren't scared and that they are pussies and represent their country and not let their sponsors down.

If I was one of the athletes I would stay because I would not want to let my country down and if I pull out then all those years of training would have gone to waste and then I would have to wait another four years until I can compete again.

Reason 1: You have trained all of your life trained all and then I would have gone to waste because you have trained and then you pulled out and then train for another three years so you could go to the next winter Olympics in four years time and a of money because you would of had to pay for the trainers and the person who tells you what to eat and the physio if you got hurt.

Reason 2: It has cost a lot of money to get there and then If you pull out you would of lost a lot of money because you would have had to paid for the flight,the gears,the trainer,all the physio and the chiropractor and even attending the Sochi Olympics.
