Point - Boycotting of the Olympics is not fair for athletes who are participating.

Elaboration - Olympics is a prestigious competition in the world. It is for athletes who are good in certain sports to participate, bring glory to their country or even family. However it is not something that could be taken lightly and boycotted anytime we like.

Explanation - Athletes who are participating have spent alot of time to practise, to sharpen their skill in order to win a medal in the Olympics competition. The Olympics could be said to be their dreams which are so important to them. Thus by calling off the Olympics, it would be very unfair to the athletes as their time and efforts would be gone to drains. Moreover, Olympics is held only once every four years and their skills are most likely to deprove as they grow older.
