Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nine Gold Medals tells us that helping out others in need is more glorious than winning a mere race. The athletes reminded us that the world now needs more cooperation and collaboration than competition. Developing the feeling of brotherhood among all the people is important for the good of humankind.

The poem the cold within teaches how in today's generation prejudices, malice, biases, discrimination, and racism can destroy human beings and eventually the world. Therefore the title was given to show that the group lacked the "warmth of humanity" in them and hence they died from "The Cold Within".
