The Olympics are like a big game where countries play against each other. They compete to win medals, which make their country look strong and proud. It's like when you and your friends race to see who is the fastest, except this is for whole nations. People love seeing their country do well, so they cheer louder and feel more connected to others from the same place.
Examples
- When Brazil won gold in football, people all over Brazil danced in the streets.
- Japan sends hundreds of athletes to win medals for their country every four years.
- Even small countries like Malta send athletes because they want to show pride on a big stage.
