What should true sportsmanship look like? The true sportsmanship should be to be higher, faster and stronger, to train hard to achieve the goal, to constantly strive, to explore the limits of the body, and to pursue better results. NBA superstar Kobe Bryant shoots 1,000 times every day and even gets up at 4 a.m. to train. He famously said, "Have you ever seen Los Angeles at 4 a.m.?" Superstars who look infinitely glorious in the eyes of others , the sweat we put in during daily training is unimaginable, and no one can succeed easily. One minute on stage and ten years of hard work off stage. Kobe may not be the most talented, but he must be the hardest working.
The true sportsmanship is to win the game fairly and justly, relying only on your own strength rather than relying on some other tricks. During the World Cup in Korea and Japan, the Koreans were taken care of by the referees and eventually entered the semi-finals, but this would be shameful to fans around the world. In addition, many American athletes take large amounts of so-called "non-banned drugs" (which cannot be detected as banned according to the current level of technology) to improve their performance. For example, the famous sprinter Gatlin was banned from competition because of banned drugs. Even if you take medicine, you still can't outrun Bolt. Isn't it embarrassing? If you don't take medicine, even if you can't beat Bolt, no one will despise Gatlin. But if you take medicine, you will break the rules of the game.
The true sportsmanship is to respect your opponent and regard him as a friend who competes with you, rather than an enemy that hinders your ranking. Friendship first, competition second. When Rockets O'Sullivan and Ding Junhui played in the UK, the British "gentlemen" outside the court often booed Ding Junhui when he was playing. At this time, O'Sullivan signaled the audience to be quiet and not to affect their opponents. In the end, Ding Junhui lost to the powerful O'Sullivan, and O'Sullivan even went up to comfort Ding Junhui. This is true gentlemanly spirit, true sportsmanship.
The true sportsmanship is a rare and golden spirit! But now some athletes lack sportsmanship. Such athletes are shameful.
