consider this claim: since it has a level of athleticism similar to that required for traditional olympic fencing, lightsaber dueling should be made an olympic sport. now consider how someone might argue against this. which sentence presents the strongest and most reasonable counter - claim to the above claim? allowing a \sport\ based on a movie series to become an olympic event is so frivolous that it would spell the end of the olympics as we know them. because lightsaber dueling is a new sport, there are not enough experienced competitors from different countries to make it a worthwhile olympic event. lightsabers are made of rigid plastic with led lights, making them incredibly different from the traditional metal sabers, foils, and epees used in fencing.

Answer

# Answer: Because lightsaber dueling is a new sport, there are not enough experienced competitors from different countries to make it a worthwhile Olympic event. # Brief Explanations: This counter - claim focuses on a practical aspect (lack of experienced competitors globally) relevant to Olympic event status, making it strong and reasonable compared to the others. The first option is more of an extreme opinion, and the third option just points out a material difference rather than a core reason against it being an Olympic sport.
