Can technology make sports more equal, or does it only widen the gap between competitors?

In today's sports, technolgy is more involved than it has ever been before. From the equipment used to the training tools, sports have bacome more technological than before. However, this brings about a question: Is technology fair to competitors? I strongly believe that it is not fair to competitors.

My first argument is that not all competitors have access to the latest technology. According to BBC sports, in the 2012 London Olympic Games, in the swimming events, competitors wore different suits. For example, some competitors wore "super suits." which helped them move faster in the water than others who wore regular suits. This shows that not all competitors have access to the latest equipment in sports.

One could counter-argue that although technology itself may not be unfair to competitors, the competitors compete based on the environment and resources that their respective teams or countries have. This means that each player plays the game based on his or her own circumstances.

But this argument does not take into account the big problem. Poorer countries cannot afford to gain access to new and advanced technology, and this grants the richer countries a privileged position. Sports must not become a competiton to see who can acquire the best equipment, but rather a fair competiton of pure skill and dedication.

In conclousion, although technology has advanced sports in many ways, it can cause inequality among sportsmen. Sports must remain fair, and success must not depend on the wealth of the sportsmen.
