Are gold medals that important?小刚: Gold medals are impressive, but recently the National Sports Administration said we shouldn’t only focus on gold medals — everyone’s health and happiness matter too.小宝: So it’s okay not to win gold medals? Then what’s the point of competitions?小刚: Competitions can help us exercise and make friends. The most important thing in sports is participation and improvement, not necessarily being number one.小宝: I like running, but I’m slow. Is that okay?小刚: Of course it’s okay! If you work hard, you’re the best. As long as you enjoy exercising, everyone is a champion.小宝: Then I’ll do more exercise with my friends from now on and not worry about winning medals.
