Q1 Do you think it is necessary to award prizes and incentives to athletes?

Ans- I think it makes total sense to award prizes and incentives to athletes. First of all, they train for years, sometimes in tough conditions, so it's only fair to reward their hard work and discipline. Winning a prize is like a way of saying, 'We see you, and we appreciate the effort.' Also, awards help to keep them motivated during training and competition. Let's be real... staying focused for months without a clear goal is hard. But if they know there's recognition waiting at the finish line, it can really push them to give their best. It's not just about money either. Sometimes it's the title or the feeling of being seen that matters most. So yeah, I'd say incentives play a big role in keeping athletes going.

Q2 What kind of sports are popular in your country?

Ans- Oh, I would say all kinds of ball games. People in my country are fond of football because it has simple rules, can be played just with a ball almost anywhere, is very entertaining to watch and play and very short which makes viewers actively involved in the game from the beginning to the end. There are also a lot of basketball and volleyball fans. Basketball can be played with 5 or more friends all at the same time and provides a whole lot of fun. Volleyball is very aerobic and athletic and attracts people with its strategy. These days there are also lots of people in my country enjoying tennis which is one of the most dynamic sports requiring total involvement of its players. Tennis encourages interaction, communication and just plain fun and is a great stress reliever which makes it even more loveable.

Q3 What kind of competitions do people in your country like to watch?

Ans- I think most people in my country enjoy watching different kinds of competitions, but football tournaments are definitely a favourite. It doesn't matter if it's the local league or the World Cup... people go all in. One reason is that they're exciting and emotional to watch. Every goal or mistake can change everything. You can feel the tension in the room! Another type people love is singing competitions, like The Voice or Eurovision. It's fun to hear different voices and styles, and people enjoy supporting their favourite contestants... it almost feels personal. You start rooting for someone and follow their journey. These competitions also give families something to watch together and talk about. So yeah, sports and talent shows are the big ones here.

Q4 Do you think there should be more matches or competitions broadcast on TV?

Ans- Yeah, I believe there definitely should be more matches and competitions broadcast on TV. First, it helps people who can't attend events watch and enjoy sports, especially those living far away or with busy schedules. Not everyone can be at the stadium, so TV coverage makes sports accessible to everyone. Also, more broadcasts increase the popularity of different sports. When people see a sport on TV, they're more likely to get interested and maybe even try it themselves. It's especially important for smaller or less-known sports that don't get much attention otherwise. So, more TV coverage can inspire new fans and support athletes by giving them wider exposure.
