Those same athletes will pour their souls into international competition against each other.
Sports are a great way for talent to transcend borders (my all-time favorite football player is Vietnamese (Dat Nguyen) and all-time favorite basketball player is Argentinian (Manu Ginobili) ), but intra-nation competition is literally some of the most compelling sports theater out there.
