On the other hand, conflict can be occurs between athletic. Ċ The Olympic Games are the best examples which sport events can bring nations together.

This has ease everyone who visited china will not faced linguistic problem. It also help others understand china culture better. Another example is south korea and north korea has put aside of their patriotic issues and fully support of their country team on FIFA world cup 2010.

For instance, football games between Korea and Japan where full of tension overflow. Sometimes, after the matches, the two rivals blame each other and their patriotic emotions explode in an aggressive way. As the consequence, its worsen relation of the country. Ċ In conclusion, International sporting occasions can lead to mutual understanding between country, which can lead to ease of international tensions and release patriotic emotions in a safe way.
