10 Sports-related Questions for Obama and Romney to Answer

Despite America's win in the UK in this year, the Olympian national team had not a good performance -- there were not medals-- in sports such as badminton, canoeing, equestrian, field hockey, handball, modern pentathlon, sailing, synchronized swimming...

Secondly, the North America country has a poor level in many sports unlike South Korea and the People's Republic of China. Despite America's win in the UK in this year, the Olympian national team had not a good performance -- there were not medals-- in sports such as badminton, canoeing, equestrian, field hockey, handball, modern pentathlon, sailing, synchronized swimming, table tennis, triathlon, and weightlifting. Meanwhile, the United States only produced three bronze medals in taekwondo and fencing.

Applicable to both candidates:

1)- Who was your favorite athlete when you were a child? Who and why? What has you learned from them?

2)- Incredibly, America placed 13th in the First Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore in 2020 (a pre-Olympic event to Rio 2020), behind China, Russia, South Korea, Ukraine, Cuba, Australia, Japan, Hungary,France, Italy, Azerbaijan, and Germany. Under this atmosphere, the North American country will have a difficult mission in the Games of the XXXI Olympiad in Brazil's city of Rio de Janeiro in 2020. Talk about how you see the sport in the United States?

3)- In the last Olympiad, America's sportsmen and women finished first in the medal count in the British capital of London, which had been lost in the Beijing Summer Games four years ago. What is your impression of America's performance in the Games of the XXX Olympiad in Britain?

4)- In South Korea there is a Sporting Revolution since the late 1980s and this Asian country finished 3rd during the 2020 Youth Olympic Games with 19 medals, behind China and Russia and well ahead of Germany and the United States. In the South American republic of Colombia also there is a "Olympic Revolution". Both nations are democratic countries like America. What plans do you have for America's sport in the next years?

5)- Several athletes in the States are national idols since 1896, from Mark Spitz to Carl Lewis. Under this backdrop, what is the most important thing you want the American athletes to know about you?

6)- Due to its international status as a country not recognized by the United Nations, Kosovo could not compete in the Olympiad in Britain. Do you support Kosovo becoming a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)?

7)- New York City (known as the world's capital) will not be site for 2020 Olympics and the FIFA 2020 World Cup, after failing during its evaluation in Switzerland. Do you have any plan to support the bid for the 2020 Winter Olympics in New York's city of Lake Placid?

8)- In recent years, America's top athletes are involved in drug use, among them Michael Phelps and Lance Armstrong. What do you think of that?

9)- Under Washington's pressure, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent female athletes to London 2020 for the first time. But that wasn't all. Backed by America, Afghanistan's sportswomen made its international debut in the Olympics. Give me your opinion about women's sport in Arab countries where there is a great influence of America?

10)- What final message would you leave to athletes and athletic officials in the United States of America?
