People compete in the Olympics to compare how good they are in a certain event to other countries/states and to win metals and such. Also in the end they compete to just have fun. Finally, you are representing your country so people try their best. Making it to the Olympics is very amazing and special because you have to put a lot of effort into it so if you even get the chance to go, most people would.
