So, the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.But parkour practitioners themselves dont seem to be happy with the idea. They see

30、 parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website Next Sport Star. “Its a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.”Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a

31、way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.Its great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form.

36、es most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.“The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving in a sport, teaches kids that ad

37、ults value hard work and trying our best.Others say that theres no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.“I think we should encourage kids participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornel

38、l Medical College, in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.”Barish argues that when we single out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only par

39、t of the equation (等式),” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. Theyll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and on

40、ly one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks theres nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners.
