Do you use technology in your cross-country career? I don’t think it should be allowed as it alters your skills and what you can do. I think that people should train and use their natural strengths when doing competitions because they might win unfairly. What is your opinion on technology usage in sports? Many people disagree with me and think it should be allowed, so if it’s going to be used, it should at least be limited.
Can you share why you think people disagree with you?
Because i have had many replies to my opinions and other people think wxh should be allowed.
I strongly strongly disagree with using technology because this just shows what technology not what humans can do as well as that using technology can only do what it is programmed to do meanwhile humans can do anything and show off their skills.
