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 strong and most reasonable counter - claim to the above claim? 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. 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.
