This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

ODST: Very big for a Human, say about 2 Metres tall, 120kg's roughly, a veteran and highly intelligent with plenty of experience, also an expert marksman and skilled in Hand to Hand combat. (Excellent strength and reaction speed etc. ,Remember Humans get adrenaline rushes as well).
Where are you getting these facts from? ODST's are regular marines that have undergone more in depth training. They do not weigh more, nor are taller and do not have more strength than the average human being. They are not Spartans, and no where near them physically.
Combat wise, not all ODST's are combat veterans, some people enlist straight out to the ODST's program right after boot camp. All though ODST's are naturally better on average than the average UNSC Marine after ODST boot camp. They are not Spartans and they never will be, they are close, but they are not them.
An Elite would 99% of the times beat an ODST in CQC. In a ranged fight, it would be more even, but the Elite has more speed, strength and reflexes than a normal human being, so it would go for the Elite in most cases, I'd say... 60% of the times.
